I'm with "Flipped Cracker"

How would they bash up if the latch can still hold the hood down?

I've heard the CF hood can still be too light.. even for the hood latch.

you would really wanna invest in some hood pins...i have had friends who's hood flew off and hit cars in back of him on the freeway going around 80 mph. Even if you don't care for your own safety, be considerate and keep other drivers' safe also...

hood locks all the way....they don't stick out as much as actual hood pins, and you get to add another key to your keychain :thumbup:
