Will I Need Hood Pins?

silver_96 · December 28th, 2007, 10:27 AM

I have a 96 gt i droped my double stack 4 inch cowl off at the paint shop today. Will i need hood pins or would it be ok without??

If it is a pin on hood, yes. If it is a bolt on hood ,no. It is usually a good idea to check hood fitment before sending it off to paint. When I install pin on hoods I always have to trim the edges to get them to seat. I also install all the hardware and remove it before I send them out to paint. This is the best way to make sure you do not damage the fresh paint.

The hood is a bolt on. I really dont want to put them on because the way the hood is i dont know if they would look good where they would have to go. They are dry fitting the hood right now so i will see.

I run Dzus fasteners on my car, they look clean, however they are a little difficult to set up. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=HRD%2D192&N=700+4 294922918+4294915935+115&autoview=sku
