They where used on race cars that had flimsy and lightweight hoods that would break opening and closing if you tried to attach them normally. They actually are the attaching points. They added convenience when working on the race car because you just lifted the whole hood and set it aside.

But he's deff right. On a n/a 5sfe, hood scooped cold air is going to account for maybe .00001 HP. lol. Maybe .002 if you've got your super auto turbo plastic fan device attached oh wait, no... Ubercool plastic fan device

actually hood pins are important but most people get them for looks
they can be usefull with carbon fiber hoods where the latch area can become weak, if it becomes weak the hood flies open or if in a front end crash a carbon fiber hood doesnt crumple like a normal alum. hood does....imagine getting your head cut off by your hood.
hood pins help keep the hood in place.

Carbon fiber is not strong enough to withstand the crash, It's not strong enough to go thru the glass and the windshield arms, and quite frankly, Unless you've got a really good solid filled in hood (witch would defeat the weight reduction; and none are built solid that way) I don think it'd even be able to withstand the strength of your neck

I am aware of what hood pins are used for, I was questioning his use of the hood pins on a stock hood. Is the hood latch broken? If so why not just get a new one from the dealer for like $25? That's probably about what it cost for the hood pins anyway, right?

Have you ever seen Nick Burns - Your Company's Computer Guy on SNL?
Some of you fit the profile to a tee.
I was pointing out domestics dolled up like something else..
I don't give a sh*t what you think of my car. If I see one more Celica with
the same hood and bumper swap to make it look like a GT4, I'm going to
puke. Not to mention all the other crap.
So now, I'm taking the high road on you all.

ok time to comment
I have a GT-Four hood and bumper, are you gonna puke when you see my car ?
I also have a 3sgte from an st205 under the hood...still make you feel sick ?
What I don't have is this cheezy JC Whitney scoop
or hood pins for a stock hood
What, Is your latch broken ? can't pony (pun) up the $30 for a new one from the dealer ? Instead you have hood pins (probably fake) because it looks like one of the pins is attached to the top of your cruise control actuator.
Also what exactly is "high beam grills" <-- as listed in your profile ?!?!?!??
when you make fun of ricers and have some rice mods yourself, then this happens
This site is generally very fair and good, no flame suits needed, because bashing other cars isn't something we do here...until someone makes a post like this
sorry bro but you brought this onto yourself.
I'm done, I think he understands now.

I was originally making fun of racing STICKERS on a domestic. I was originally saying
that the over night mods don't warrant racing stickers. Get it?
Man, trying to keep cool doesn't work...
That being said,
The F'n hood pins are real. They came with the hood. The scoop works.
Celicas are fun, reliable cars that are fun to work on. I'm not a teenager or
some 20 something kid. I'm not DILLUTED about what my Celica really is.
You can do whatever you want to them. They're FWD and still Celicas.
Why? You wanna loan me 30 bucks for a latch, jack-hole?
Like Dustin said, this site really isn't about making fun of other people's car but the thread was started by Spitrod making fun of someones car. I just saw some irony in the situation.
7A-FTE:It's not about the money.Our Beams Swap.I <3 Dustin---07/16/06
jack-hole ? that's not nice.
maybe you should of spent the $30 on a latch instead of a cool hood scoop, I guess it's all about priorities.
Even if the hood pins are real, they have no business being there, that just makes you look like a fool for having them when they're not needed in any way.
show some pics of how the pins are installed to the car (not just the hood), and pics of the "high beam grills".
Put all of us haters to bed.
