theyre pretty good. a couple of my friends have them on their hoods.
look the best imo too. very low profile.

all of the original style ones look ricey as fock.
and you dont really need hood pins for the tsx unless you have something like 350whp+ like ben.
but... i would get these. which i plan to do when i get my hood bc of the added safety just in case + security lol

you should think about it before jumping the gun.

Tha's a pretty BIG hole!!

thanks for bringing it up!!

i mean im still gonna get em, but i mean its ultimately up to you. thats just the style i recommend. its not for everyone though. and you probably wont be able to sell the hood after you're done with it lol.

What are hood pins for?

i2ide · 10-21-2009, 11:50 PM

...facepalm.

i2ide · 10-21-2009, 11:51 PM

its basically a primary or back up hood latch. that securely latches and keeps the hood down.

msm_ching · 10-22-2009, 02:10 AM

i m going to try if i can find a local store that sell this.

i m even thinking of clear bra'ing my hood. lol.

Thanks for the info, but I don't know what the facepalm was for. I saw the black egg shaped thing attached near the front of the hood and was confused on what it was for.
