hood pins instead of latch?

[ThePhoenix98]

ok, since the demise of my PAU, i need to get back to work on my 00 GT.
i had a little run in with a pole last july. banged up the lower support
where the hood latch is. my buddy is super long winded, so im gonna
try and put her back together myself. so, wondering if i can do hood
pins and get away with it?

Hood pins are gay and dumb.

If anything get these.

Not to thread jack but out of curiosity, what is the point of someone using hood pins over using the latch? I know you are using them to get the hood just to stay shut.

Latches look way batter than pins on these cars.

I actually have a set of those pins in my stash of parts for my Stealth. They are top notch.

my look into the latches, but for the time being...im going out to pick up the
front end on wednesday. hood, bumper, fender, etc. should have her back on
the road next week.
