Where To Put Hood Pins?

gustov20 · February 23rd, 2007, 10:25 PM

I have a 2001 v6 and hood pins seem like a good cheap appearance mod, but where does the hood pin post mount under the hood?

WilltheThrill · February 23rd, 2007, 11:15 PM

is your sixer stock or modded?

gustov20 · February 24th, 2007, 12:07 AM

its stock, im just wondering where to put the post

WilltheThrill · February 24th, 2007, 12:12 AM

I dont know where to put the posts, but I warn u that some people will most likely laugh at u or make fun of u for puttin hood pins on a stock V6 stang that has no mods

xxrals22xx · February 24th, 2007, 12:16 AM

for some reason i knew u were goin to say that ^ listen they still serve a purpose safety wise and i think they look good on cars

WilltheThrill · February 24th, 2007, 12:16 AM

dont get me wrong, I think stuff like that looks cool, but IMO that would be kindof corny on a stang with no mods, especially a v6 stang, im not tryin to piss ya off, im just warning u of the reactions u might get

I recommend u wait until u have some mods, lol.

i wish i didnt have to run hood pins. dont think they look good at all.

punkafi888 · February 25th, 2007, 12:41 AM

yall dont have to be such @$$ holes! basically you just aquare them off with a metal sheat that is already there under your hood. and the track down here requires them to be run on any car that runs there. dont know why? but they do. and seriously its just one persons oppinion. and it does only cost $30

gustov20 · February 25th, 2007, 01:35 AM

matrixpuba you have them, what are the posts mounted to?

GreenFaleen · February 25th, 2007, 01:40 AM

You are required to have them at the strip I run at if you run below a 14.5 which isn't that fast.

BWAL09 · February 25th, 2007, 07:36 AM

are you planning on getting actual hoodpins or are you just going to get the imitation stick-on hoodpins?

the posts are where the stock little square rubber things are. i think they are for adjusting the corners of the hood.
