NRG carbon fiber hood pin locks installed
Real Carbon fiber hood locks from NRG, Installed them today they look good and I didnt have any problem installing them took about 30 min., they do the trick and keep the carbon fiber hood from moveing when im driveing, works better then I thought it would/. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

I know alot of hoods depending on quality and brand will vary on whether you need them or not. If its just a metal/fiberglass type hood with a "carbon fiber" wrap, and it is still substantially heavy, then it doesn't necessarily NEED hood pins. Strictly cosmetic.
Yet most quality carbon fiber hood are substantially lighter, like they are intended for, and therefore can run the risk of wobbling or blowing open and COULD and benefit from hood pins. Are they a necessity?...no. But will they help with a quality light-weight hood?...yes.
I'm indifferent on them, but if i had to get some, I like this low-profile look like you have.
I would definitely do a DIY for the SL community if I were you.

I did the same to my BBist Carbon DV hood even if its rare as fu-k. i could never get it to line up flush with the fenders before and now the pins hold it tight and no more goddamn rattle
