06GTMustang89 · October 9th, 2007, 08:24 PM

leebunnyz · October 9th, 2007, 08:25 PM

GT33 · October 9th, 2007, 08:33 PM

With the billet grill should it be the oe with the lights still there or the one with it removed..

06GTMustang89 · October 9th, 2007, 08:46 PM

I say no hood pins or grill. I say you get a chin spoiler.

get the pins and a grille with no lights. I hate the fog lights.

I think with that cowl hood a set of hoodpins would be right at home on there..

Even though I want to say hood pins are rice, I wont. I know it would upset a few of you. I won't say they look bad, per se, but...

They're only there to emulate what you see on race vehicles, yet serve no purpose. Reminds me of the Mini Coopers with the stickers on the side. It's just silly.

They also rust and make opening your hood a chore.

Hood pins rice? hood pins are a muscle thing

I think he needs them for that aftermarket hood anyway.

I don't know the heritage of hood pins. They are safety latches, and using them otherwise is purely cosmetic.

Hood Pins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would look sick on your blacked-out ride...just a hint of contrast...

leebunnyz · October 9th, 2007, 10:56 PM

mustangs hoods tend to shake sometimes at higher speeds, so hoodpins serve a big purpose and look good. your long ass user name serves no purpose so you must be rice lol just playin

Grabber523 · October 9th, 2007, 10:59 PM

LOL!!! Love the definition of RICE!! And My hood pins are funcional...they keep the driver's corner of the hood from lifting about an inch...don't have to worry about the hood twisting the latch off the pin at 160+ and getting a hood scoop through my windshield...

Are you looking for just a grill, or an entire front fascia? If you've got $1,500 laying around, the GT500 front fascia is worth every penny.

stanglifemike · October 9th, 2007, 11:04 PM

Hood pins and chin spoiler, grills only work on certain cars.

that wouldn't be a bad idea for $1,500, but the cheapest i've found it for was over $2,000. It's not worth it. thats why i decided to go with the roush kit this winter.

stanglifemike · October 9th, 2007, 11:14 PM

How much you getting the Roush kit for Juco?

JAY'SRED02 · October 9th, 2007, 11:16 PM

Hood pins all the way! I think they look great on our cars. I wish that Mitsubishi Mighty Max I worked on about a year ago would have had hood pins! Nothing like running down the road at about 65mph and the hood smacking the windshield. I guess thats why the bungee cord was wrapped around the bumper.
