They are actually for a friend of mine. She got a cf hood and didn't like how it latched so she wanted pins just in case.

they still latch properly using the stock latch point. it's when you buy a cheap one and it doesn't fit right that you have to use pins.

Re: Hood Pins

OK I am not even going to bother arguing the point. Just think that metal bonded to carbon fiber is no where as strong as metal bonded to metal.

Wrong, you should always use pins for safety. ALWAYS.

Mine has popped from the stock latch and it was not a cheap non-fitting one. It's simple weight vs lift at speed. My pins held it though.

If you don't use pins you're a fool.
