Fiberglass Hoods

Well, today my hood was pretty much destroyed. Someone stole my hood pins while at work, and well, I didn't notice until I was doing 85 on the highway. Luckily no one was around me, and no one was hurt, besides the car. So I'm looking at some fiberglass hoods and just seeing if there's a general favourite among TG'ers. And a question about hood pins, is there any locking mechanisms that look good for hood pins, since I don't have a hood latch in the meantime.
Thanks in advance,
Azsh

Re: Fiberglass Hoods

I wouldn't recommend getting one of the cheap fiberglass hoods off ebay. I did that and it was a warped piece of crap. Aerocarch hood pins are cool and you can get ones that lock

Yeah I was thinking along the lines of Harwood, VFN, and HTG... or any others that someone could recommend.

My glasstek was 650 shipped, and it installed like a dream. The Harwood on my s10 didn't fit as well, and I've seen some real poor VFN stuff...



Also, check out these lockable aerocatches these for new hood pins:
