WRX Sellout
Yeah, I know this probably belongs in the ricey body/exterior foryum we have, but I know half of the people here (including me) almost never look at it.
Anyway, I purchased myself a carbon fiber hood on Friday, and got it installed Friday night. There's no place to put the hood stand, so I've got to make a hole for that. The holes for the windshield nozzles are too small, so I've got to drill those out. Otherwise, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. It fits nice, and looks awesome.
But, the hood likes to wobble around above 55 mph, and I don't know if I trust the latch that came with the hood, so I think I really need some hood pins. Besides, the guys at the shop I bought the hood from recommended pins too. So, my question is....what kind of hood pins should I get, and where should I get them from? Well, I guess the FIRST question is, does it MATTER who I get them from? Are there "quality" hood pins? Thanks for any help.
