    ok, since the demise of my PAU, i need to get back to work on my 00 GT.
    i had a little run in with a pole last july. banged up the lower support
    where the hood latch is. my buddy is super long winded, so im gonna
    try and put her back together myself. so, wondering if i can do hood
    pins and get away with it?

    Hood pins are gay and dumb.

    If anything get these.

    Not to thread jack but out of curiosity, what is the point of someone using hood pins over using the latch? I know you are using them to get the hood just to stay shut.

    I actually have a set of those pins in my stash of parts for my Stealth. They are top notch.
