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?

Last time I helped with hood pins, we marked it with a permanent marker.

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 :3

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. :l
