Default Hood Pins

Where did you guys mount them on you 88-91 civic or crx? Im trying to find a good spot for mine that wont ---- with the headlights and shizz. And how did you mark them on the hood so you could drill a " perfect " hole?

Where did you put them? That bracket that holds the headlights?

I didn't do them on a Honda, that was on a Camaro.

I personally don't see a real problem with hood pins, it adds an extra sense of security. I'd never get them but thats just me.

i'd only use them on a CF hood, only because it seems like its hit or miss on whether or not the latch is secured to the hood

The hood, for some reason doesnt sit all the way down. And sometimes the latch un-latches itself while on the road. So it is, as said... for extra sence of security.

I've been running a CF hood without pins for months now, no problems. I highway drive everday. I've gone 190km/h and the hood barely wobbles. I'm thinking I'll get it done just to be safe though.
