I have a set of locking ones laying around somewhere. I don't want hood pins on my car, but it would kinda make sense considering you can open the hood from the outside of these cars in about 2 seconds and take whatever you want under the hood.

if there the ones im thinking of your not supposed to use those by themselves to hold the hood down.

but yea, anyone can walk up to my car and pop the latch in literally 2 seconds. i do it all the time, infact i cant remember the last time i actually pulled the hood release in the car.

The guys with the hoods flying up have fiberglass hoods. A steel hood does not need hood pins if you latch the hood down all the way.

my glass hood let go one day out of nowhere...yup safety latch did it's job, but I now would not want to test it again. Safety latch saved my ass..but I don't want to test my luck again.

my buddys was a steel hood. latched all the way. flew up and shattered his sunroof sending shards of glass down on his/passengers faces. they had lots-o-cuts. that and his roof/cowel are screwed.

That is mis-information for the simple fact that millions of other mustangs including mine seem to do just fine with steel hoods, and no pins for 20+ years. If it was a problem ford would have installed them from the factory.
