The hood latch on my car failed on the freeway at 70 mph. So I need a new hood (and windshield, but that's a different story).

I'm looking on getting a used CF hood, with hood pins. What all do I need to be able to keep the hood down without using the hood latch (which I am going to get fixed, but not yet)? I need to get this car back up and running.

Do I need anything to install the hood pins? Will the hood pins be enough to keep the hood down?

This is the cheapest and quickest fix right now, for the hood. I want to get this car up and running again. Please give me some tips... thanks!

Check it out. Now what's this about points and a reward???

You may also borrow my dremel & drill, if you come down and get them... lol!

If you can get the hood, i can guide you through a hood pin install. youll have to drill the hood with a drill and youll need a dremel also. its a bitch, but if you are careful, it will come out great.

The hood is already drilled and the hood pins installed, I'm wondering what it takes to get the hood pins installed on the car....

depends on where they are. on the stock radiator support, there are two rubber stoppers where I mounted the shafts so no drilling. hopefully, they are there.
