Worth the price!

Excellent softer material conforms to the curves of the hood and protects it from scratches years after installation.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • There are downsides

Excellent quality hood pin for customer's car project.

These hood pins were perfect for my off-road project. Good quality and workmanship. A needle is included. So be sure to order two if you want to add a pin to each side of the hood.

Works very well! on hood Scoops & Vents

Worked very well, rods were long enough for my application (1976 Mercury Capri). I think the only problem is that my hood is curved where I placed it. When you lower the hood, the pins need to go through the black polyurethane, not straight through, so the polyurethane needs to form around the pillar. Although it works, I like the look.

Pros
  • Pleases
Cons
  • Requires socket

Polyurethane or nothing

I'm not a mechanic or anything but was still able to install at home with about $25 worth of tools. They look very nice if you use them for optics or because the hood latch is broken. Polyurethane is good because it distributes pressure evenly and applies to both the hood and pins. I am very satisfied with the results of the project and I am glad that I chose this product.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Misleading description

"Single" will be overlooked by many. It's normal to expect something to stick out in front of you, like, "That's ONE set of pins. It takes two." Seems to be a misleading description. Too many people confuse the item with 2 pins. I don't see the seller addressing the issue by clarifying it. Looks like a great product, but I'm rating the seller, no the product. I was taken back to find only one pin when I opened the package. Also, in the shipping box, 3 screws came loose. The rest of the gear was

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Negativity is present

They work! - Bonnet Pins

These are very good bonnet pins for the money. The pins themselves really need to be longer to make this kit truly versatile. To be fair, they were designed for hoods that have very little or no flex. Other than that, I think they fit my Nissan Sentra well with minor tweaks to the rubber pads. I like the rubber bushings and I really like the thick pins. I think they look good and I know my hood isn't going anywhere with these bad boys. Overall I would say they are worth the money spent. If your

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers

  • Frequency

Good quality, the pins are too short to work.

I am a big fan of Daystar products. I have used their alignment kits, body bushings, bushing insulators and more. So, to be clear, the quality of the parts is there. I have no doubt that the product would last if it actually worked. The real problem I'm having is that the hood pins are so short that I wouldn't be able to install the hood bushing and then insert the pins into the top. When the pin was bolted to the core support, the bottom nut had about 3 threads and the pin hole protruded just…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Nothing here

To be honest I have no idea what others have had issues with after reading negative reviews and buying based on positive reviews on other websites. The description makes it very clear that this is a kit that contains all the parts needed for ONE bonnet pin. Two sets are comparable or cheaper than most competitors, there are no additional shipping costs and they are made in the USA. If you damage one you can replace it without buying two, I find it useful. Other complaints include having to buy…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Modern
