is there a way to get around from using hood pins? to hold it down?
my AMG f/g Ram air held up to 90mph for 4hrs with no probs.. i was going to put hood pins in this summer cuz id rather be safe.. but i hate the look of them.. and then i ended up selling the hood lol so i gave the new owner the hood pins i was going to use also..
My CF hood had a big sticker on it that said Hood pins are required even with the stock latch
well i am saying is there another way to hold down a c/f hood with out the pins
^^lol
larry.. there is always duct tape.. u can even get it in black

Larry, mine held up at 70mph all the way to your house and back with out hoodpins and ive been back and forth to cleveland a couple times and havent had a problem. i just use the stock hood latch
simple minds talk about other people.
average minds talk about events.
great minds discuss ideas
i am only asking because if i get my new car its going to have a c/f hood and trunk but i am going to paint it for a reason and i need to to look stock and i have hurd alot of bad storys of it flying up
My bro has been ripping around for 3 years on a C/F hood with no hood pins.. And he has had the car up to 130mph a bunch of times.. and no iusses.

I'm assuming your brother isn't driving a J-Body. Unless he eliminated the VSS.
I'll be watching this but I doubt there is any other options besides hood pins w/ the stock latch.
^^ive already sad.. there is always duct tape.. geesh..
on a serious note i did actually kept some in my car with the spare tire.. so if it did ever fly up on a travel i could tape teh hood down to secure it better enough to get home if the windshield wasnt to bad..
If your going on a super long trip , maybe a kinda loose zip tie, just incase?
