Should always use hood pins on ANY fiberglass/non-OEM hood.

Wat NemeGuero sed. I was told that there's no adhesive you want to trust to hold on to your hood latch at underhood temps; I always just thought it was due to too much variance in fitment, not enough weight on the latch to secure it down and the fact that a central latch on a hood is retarded in the first place.
