Are hoodpins required for c/f hoods?
Anyone with a c/f hood answer this one? Thanks.

 

not required, i dont use them

 

ah okay that was quick :D

 

lol, yea you don't need them. looks good w/o them imo.

 

no need for them...the stock hood latch will hold up just fine..depends on the quality of the hood though.

 

and which hoods are reliable? seibon? vis? any other brands? thanks.
i know it looks much better without hoodpins, and i dont really want them.
someone told me i HAVE to get them for my car before so i got them and hated them

 

dont need them on good hoods......i get a tiny bit of hood vibration over 100 but its so minute that i dont even worry....mine is a tcsportline

 

ne companies you guys recommend?

 

i have the veilside CF hood,

vibrations at around 75+MPH, but i don't think its going anywhere

 

if you get CF OEM hood, VIS is great.

 

ive been looking at prices...
vis vs. seibon? :/

 

i get no vibrations with the VIS hood...mine fits fine...but i will not vouch for the rest of their products...maybe i got lucky? haha

 

1) how can i tell which brand a CF hood is? my friend has one for sale he got off the internet...but he can't remember which brand...and it doesn't have any markings on it. it's the same style as the oem hood, if that helps at all.

2) also, today i was lookin at a co workers CF hood...and it's all cracked cuz someone put it up on the factory hood arm...he said you can't put CF hoods up like that...is that true?

 

1. vis hoods have a small riveted badge on the inside of them. not sure about other brands

2. negative on that, your friend is a tool.

 

ha^

 

ive got a seibon hood and its blank on the underside

 

cool. thanks...
