Replacing the hood with a light weight fiber glass one…
Any reasons not to go pin on?
clean look > hoodpins. From personal experiences hood pins can crack your hood and jam up sometimes.Its preference i guess, the car will prob look much cleaner with out them but its up to you
if you have a carbon fiber hood and your going high speed do hood pins help and prevent warping, or is the hood’s normal latch fine?
im prob going to run a pin on hood so if i can do it you can do it lol
hmm the pin on stock hood is 11lbs…the pin on WS6 hood is 13lbs…
Thats 2lbs I can never get back…hmmm I have to have the car weigh less then chokos.
I don’t care how pins look, but I would rather have 2 pins on my hood vs a cracked hood in my windshield and a dented roof… not to mention the possibility of not being able to see out the front window and crashing…
i have a Cf hood, just using the normal hood latch, and it seems ok, ive taken it to 90 without trouble but am a little afraid to take it further. maintly because the hod jumps up and down between 60-80, after 80 the hood is held up by the wind, and i really dont want to have my hood come off at 90+mph.
are you talking about a 4 pin hood? or just 2 in the front?
4 pins is hot.
2 pins and hinges?.. meh.
Sorry I explained this wrong…
My options are a factory replacement hood that is fiber glass uses the factory hood latch…which weighs 25-30lbs
OR a pin on hood that weighs 10-11lbs…
Trying to save weight where ever I can…I just don’t know if its going to be a whore to take a pin on hood on and off by my self…
i would use the pin on hood, i am sure you wouldn’t use some lame ass cowl/vented hood… right?
ehh, if its only about 10 or 11 pounds I dont see it being much of a problem to remove.
like that :lol:
Nah I would either use a stock hood or WS6
Im leaning towards a stock style hood for the stealth look
I take my hood off by myself i dont see a hood weighing 10 lbs being very hard
My hood is larger then yours 
85% of my car is hood stupid boats
you will be able to get it off by yourself I have seen Choda do it a few times on his car
You seriously need to work out some if you think you’ll have a problem with it. :lol:
liftoff 4pin > *.
hood itself weighs less
no hinges + no latch assembly can mean 30 - 50#s in savings. :eekdance:
oh, any reason not to?
Um… no?
Should be easy enough to match paint…
Fiberglass is more fragile & susceptible to wear & tear, but so what?
Its a big fucking hood…having to take it off all the time…I assume would lead to a lot more chances of fucking it up…
