Steeda street Hood with/without hood pins

[Snakebyte94]

Well I put the WMS hood pins in. For some reason they don't hold on one side. They did this with the stock hood to. I thought the Steeda hood would be better. I was wrong. I give up with these. Waste of money. I'm taking these dam things off. Now I need to find something that would look good. I was thinking the Sparco red hood pins.
Thanks guy's for all your help.

I don't think there is any real actually useful hood pin that's gonna work with fiberglass that doesn't pass through the hood.

Yea I figured that. But these never worked well anyway.

I would of thought the WMS would be a good fit since they are one of the most expensive pins i've seen.

I had aerocatch with my previous fb hood but they are a pain in the ass to install.

Right now with my trufiber hood I'm not using any and was thinking of the WMS pins as well.

Also having a 2010+ style belly pan reduces hood shake by a good amount.

Really? Do you need to mod the belly pan any to make it fit? I'll have to look into that.

Ok, It seems that both side of the pins will lock when parked. Then I'll drive on the highway at around 70-80 mph, the left or driver side unlocks and lifts up. You can see the hood lifting at speed. Then I'll slow down take a few turns and it's locked again. I'M SO CONFUSED!!

WMS pins seem very unreliable for the price! I would be so pissed if $200+ hood pins did that!!!!

Anyways the 2010+ belly pan fits to any year S197 Mustang. The back clips on to existing mount holes and the front you need to drill holes or use zip ties.

Mine is held with zip ties at the front and will actually be all held with zip ties once my bmr k-member gets installed tomorrow!

Think it would interfere with my CHE brace with TL's? I was told the belly pan helps a lot with heat extraction, but having the benefit of both would be awesome!

I love my aerocatch latches, I HATE hood pins and these I actually like.
