Hey, I am looking for hood pins for my WRX, some one backed into me and so i upgraded to a carbon hood and i hear hood pins are recommended and i cant seem to find any all black hood pins which is what im looking for. Ive seen a lot that are mostly black and some aluminum but i want all black. if anyone has a site they know of where i can find them i would greatly appriciate it. thank you.
Hood pins are a good idea, especially with an aftermarket hood. I have seen and heard WAY too many horror stories not to spend the extra $20. I'm sure 9d2TSi has seen all the horror on DSMtuners.
Hahaha, it's funny that you say that. I would say around 10-20 percent of the people that have them over there have had the latches fail. I made sure that when I installed my carbon hood I pinned it. Those hoods are just too dang expensive, not too mention the windshield and body work that you have to fix if and when they fail.
I haven't had mine pop up on me yet, but I too have considered putting them in my stock hood on SEVERAL occasions. If I wasn't selling my car, I probably would do it now.
i never had problems with my stock hood. but i ordered an sti carbon hood scoop to match the hood and it came in and with a 4 inch hole in my hood sucking in air i am very glad that i got the pins.
