🔒 STETION Quick Release Latch License Plate Lock Clip - 1.25" Aluminum Alloy Car Hood Pins Lock Kit for Bumper Hood License Plate (Red) Review

Well after wearing them for about 3 weeks I can say I am impressed. I hit a deer with the front corner of my car at about 60 mph. And that's the only thing that lasted. Everything else is broken.

I bought this mainly because I didn't want to drill out the fender. In this case all I could do was drill holes in the bumper and mount the pins. I was able to loosen the screw, install the pin, and tighten it with the hardware that came with it. It was pretty easy and feels pretty safe. Now I can quickly remove the bumper without worrying about tearing the tape.

Worked great for me. Need a 1 1/2 inch hole saw to fit it in the hood. I installed the bolts where I wanted them, used a paint marker to paint the tops of the bolts, closed the hood until they touched, drilled pilot holes where it left traces of paint, and then sawed out the hole. Only downside, the hood needs pressure upwards to be able to press the button.

Although they look good they usually don't open and you have to strain to open the hood as one of the buttons doesn't work. They only post to the company to be ignored and the only way to get the hood open is to remove the entire assembly from underneath if you can get to it. Unfortunately, this company is useless, they do not communicate, they do not care and the product is useless.

After watching the BleepinJeep guys installation video it was very easy to install them. All you need is a set of hole saws, a drill and a 3/4" socket and/or wrench. Much better than traditional hood pins. I installed them just before winter in Minnesota, I'll update this post if they prove terrible in the ice and snow. They appear to be of the same high quality as those you see on sale for $150 or more. My and only complaint that it doesn't come with 3 set screws of each size or instructions
