These are the kind I have had for a while but never put on because I don't really trust them:


They look like they would break easily, all that holds the hood on is a thin metal rod. The big problem with my hood is that there is no place to mount the stock latch rod and the long metal latch with the spring next to it sits too far back and it hits the metal piece before the hood closes all the way.

I don't really want to put hood pins on her but I may have to given my hood is completely fiberglass

I've always like the look of hood pins for some reason I've been thinking about getting some for my Iroc, but I dont want to drill any holes in my perfect stock hood
