Hood Pins

Does anyone know of a site that sells good Hood Pins that have some type of lock on them?

I just ordered the TechSports Kit and I need to order them.

And also, Black Mesh, where would I get some. Or do I just have to paint the silver mesh Black?

Hood pins
http://www.gofastlab.com/marketplace...p?productid=59

i need a pair as well..

as for the mesh.. theres some places on line that sell the aluminum mesh

a good site for that is:
http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/C...atalogId=10101

or you can go to home depot and buy some mesh thass made for screen doors and do your own custom job.. a helluva lot cheaper! than pre made

Yep, a few accolade hoods have been known to break causing the hood to fly up and break people's windshields.

yeah with the old hoods there were one or two instances where the metal latch broke.. Accolade has improved the latch with an OEM manufactured spec one, and since then we have had no reported cases in the last couple of months of latch failure.. However we do strongly advise hood pins this is for any aftermarket hood..

I'll go check if I can get them at the autoparts store, if not, I'll order online ASAP.
