As long as the hood engages the factory latches properly, hood pins should not be needed. They may help lessen flexing at higher speeds. I'd try it without the pins

Yes I was considering the Aerocatch pins.. But hate the thought of cutting a brand new hood.... I get sick to my stomach thinking about it...

but they are a quality product and it will keep your hood on your car at high speeds. I think they look nice too (as far as hood pins go) |
