If you have added one of the many Carbon Fiber Hoods to your vehicle, you may be interested in adding some Aftermarket hood lock pins to help secure it. Carbon Fiber Hoods are extremely light. They latch to your car using the traditional stock latch. If this latch is not secured properly, or fails to do its job, it is possible that your hood could open on you. This is especially true during racing. At high speeds and during acceleration, the wind forces created on the front of your car are strong enough to cause the hood to fly open. Carbon Fiber Hood Lock Pins are an added security measure to help prevent this from happening. Not only due the Hood Lock Pins help hold your Carbon Fiber Hood in place, they are add an aggressive race look to your car. These pins tell bystanders that your ride is a race machine. It adds intrigue as they will be curious to know what is resting under the Carbon Fiber Hood.
Several different Hood Lock Pins are available and on the market today. Some manufactures have created Carbon Fiber Lock Pins which keep the hood close while keeping the weight down as compared to other hood lock pins. Plus they give your ride that custom Carbon Fiber feel. Carbon Fiber Hood Manufactures like JSP and Seibon recommend using Hood Lock Pins on all Carbon Fiber Hoods. Hood lock pins are popular on old muscle cars but are becoming more and more popular on new vehicles. Whether you are looking to race or just want to customize and restyle your ride, think about adding lock pins to any carbon fiber Hood purchase.
