Hood Pins On My Car

Drgnracin72 · April 4th, 2006, 08:14 PM

do you think that they would look good?

mdvaldosta · April 4th, 2006, 08:17 PM

I say no, not unless it's a lift off hood. Why pose? Hood slammin a cowl is much cooler.

173speed · April 4th, 2006, 08:50 PM

i think it looks good the way it is

Bossman351 · April 4th, 2006, 08:57 PM

I voted no too. If I get the hood I want it will have to be fastened with some kind of pins but Im thinkin dzus fasteners.

Damn, I feel like a Salmon swimming upstream here.

I was about to say yeah go for it. I like hood pins, always have.

But after reading that EVERYONE else said no BUT me....

No don't put them on.

(psssst do it if you want.) :wink :wink

matrixpuba · October 14th, 2006, 01:42 PM

i didnt want them on mine, but it only takes one time of going 60mph, and a semi going the other way, a gust of wind, and WOOSH, there goes your hood, cowl and windshield. and then you kick yourself in the but for not getting hood pins.

The eaglenator · October 22nd, 2006, 11:42 AM

I also vote NO the car looks great.

RichM · April 15th, 2007, 12:05 PM

Well... I think they look awesome on this car...

96Snaker · April 15th, 2007, 12:37 PM

I'm with the 29% minority here who thinks if you've got a car capable of running times and speeds where excessive winds can become a safety issue, definitely get them. Seems like your car would fall into that category Steven. But that's my side of things. I think they look badass, even on such a cowled hood.

Edit: do whatcha like though. If it were me I wouldn't want to take the chance of my hood flying off half way down the track ya know?

ujslost · April 15th, 2007, 06:12 PM

Hell no on the hood pins

WAR-PARTY · April 15th, 2007, 07:35 PM

Check the IHRA or NHRA rule book I seem to remember someting in one of them about the use of hood pins at a given speed ........

FIVE-0 · April 16th, 2007, 10:33 AM
