Re: Need Someone Who Can Install Hoodpins/Need Fenders Rolled
from someone that had a honda worth stealing, with a CF hood, that lives in the area, and tracked the car on numerous occasions, hood pins suck.
I had one hood I picked up second hand that shook like a motherfucker, that got pins. Got one later that fit better, no pins. Wired shut for tracking, and a hood pin for the alarm.
Locking it doesn't do a thing as far as theft goes. They're easier than a stock hood to force open, adding pins won't change that. So if security is the only reason you're adding them, skip it.

And I really had no other options for hoods since the car is limited production people are running out the door to make hoods. But I could care less, I am not doing it for keeping my parts secure. I am doing it so it doesn't fly off.

I agree. You need to look at the hood pins he is using he is not using run of the mill hood pins. I am using it to keep the hood from going up when I am driving 2 people with the same hood I have have had it fly off or breaking during driving.

Hood pins = 
theres other ways to do that without having hood pins LOL.. i had honda's all my life.. i never had hood pins, but always had it so you cant pop the hood from the front, theres a trick
.. but bottom line is, you shouldnt own that car if you dont have a garage or worried about theft. cause bottom line is if they want it, they are gonna taking it, hood pins or not... plus hood pins arent gonna stop a tow truck.

Re: Need Someone Who Can Install Hoodpins/Need Fenders Rolled
Thats great and all but I want hood pins so the hood wont fly up also at high speeds, If im getting hood pins I want them to lock plain and simple, even if there is a trick to not opening it from the front, I believe they also open up from other angles/areas as well (fender) and yes there are probably a hundred ways to place the wiring and do this and that but im not doing that. And yes these wont work on a tow truck thats why GPS was invented

Re: Need Someone Who Can Install Hoodpins/Need Fenders Rolled
I dont have one, I had to trade it when i got this. But im sure if i put this one up for sale for $150 plus a stock hood it would sell fast. I do like the lightweight parts though, Del Sols are not exactly light
