    i just put in order in for the ones that lock. because i know that some tool up here in college would pull my hood pins out if i didnt have locking ones.

    yea man, worst investment ever!

    just the regular sparco style ones are best, the locking ones are not load bearing and the lock is useless.

    if you still use your hood latch it wouldn't matter.

    no i mean that some kid would steal the pin itself and then i would have a missing pin. i just know it would happen, i really do not trust people around here on campus when it comes to treating others cars with respect.
