Heys guys, I want to add hood pins to the SRT and I would like some opinions. Basically, where is the best place to start the search, and what is the proper size of the pin? Thanks all.

I dont think hood pins are rice, but I really dont see the need for them either.

I agree, hood pins are a waste and shouldnt be added unless neccessary (lightweight, low stregth hood) but i think this is a little much. lol

I say call Grease on his threat, and do it! but personnally, i think they would look like ass on a caliber b/c of how the hood is shaped.

besides... do you really want to risk drilling 2 holes in your hood?

I'd do it. I do not want the CSRT4 to be associated with rice, and the forums to be associated with it either.

Hood pins make sense on aftermarket hoods that do not latch. Car modifications should not be fake. Function over form. Pure aesthetics, shorty antenna and such is one thing. It's not a fake antenna, or trying to be something it's not.

When I bought this car, I had to make sure the brake ducts and hood scoops were not fake. If they were fake, I wasn't going to buy the car.
