Hood Pin?

So a few sites are now selling Challenger Hood Pin kits that give it that old school aggressive look.

Cheesy or pretty cool?

I like the functional ones a lot better than the stick-on's. I'm on the fence... One day I"m ready, then next I'm not so sure...

Hi there,

I would be interested in knowing where to get the hood pin sets. Both the regular and the stick on ones if you happen to know.

Thanks!
Brian

Hi Brian, I have two sites below. One is for after thoughts who has a set of hood pins (the $50.00 ones) and also the stick ons. The second site is BMC Performenc who does all the work on my R/T and they have the Morosos which have the 5" pins. These are what you will need. I ended up combining the set from After thought because the hardware looks good but you need the 5" pins, thus I went to BMC for those.

I've got installation pics if you need those when you get ready.

Don't even think about stick on ones ....

Any "old school' mod if done properly is not a bad thing.

If you're going to do it, go with the real thing. These cars are to nice to start decorating up with fake junk. That said I am still on the fence about drilling my hood to install pins.
