I have looked and every install I have been able to find of FG hoods or trunk lids have included pins or straps to secure the corners. I really like the weight savings but I want the lids to appear stock - I don't want pins in the corners.
Anyone installed FG lids w/o the pins? If so, how 'bout some pics and who made them. Thanks. |

If you buy a 'street' f/g hood and not a race hood they should come with provisions to attach the stoch hardware to the hood. They'll have embedded nuts for the hinges and for the latch at the front.
It can be done. |

Hood pins are cool if you don't mind someone looking inside every now and again; ain't the best theft protection. I like hood pins in the back lid since you can put the Porsche reflector on and not have to worry about getting a mechanical or electrical latch release device. They also have a great rac e look as well as being 100% hood schmak proof at excessive speeds.

Most well made street hoods will have all the stock mounting holes with reinforced inserts. No need for pins.
