After 3 1/2 months of waiting my cf hood is finally here. Im having it installed this week and my question is about the hood pins. Will they be enough to hold the hood down if I don't use the hood latch? The pins have locks on them and if they will be enough to hold the hood down I will take the latch off. Thanx for the help

 

people constantly tell me that hood locks are really weak.

 

i have a carbon fiber hood with no pins, just the stock latch and it keeps it down no problem... and why not use your hood latch and the pins (since u are going to get them)??

 

anyone know if vis comes with a latch for the ef civics? i want to buy one but no way in hell do i wanna go back to hood pins.

I have just lock pins and no latch . .and have no problem.. I DID however have a problem forgetting to lock them once and got smacked in the winsheild while driving and cracked the snot outta the clear coat and my windsheild.
