okay so from what I understand, if you have a carbon fiber hood, u will not pass safety inspections.

What about if it has hoodpins?

no. Forget what I said. You WILL pass emissions and safety inspection with a carbon fiber hood, so buy one.

He's the evil monkey from family guy. Watch it and you'll find out.

And for the hoodpins question, I had a gt dual scoop vis hood, and it fluttered when I drove, never popped open, but always had me scared. Just for safety, I would say it is a good idea to get hood pins. I've seen some aftermarket hoods that fit like oem, but every one I asked thought they were a good idea. Never have too much safety, and its better than having the hood fly open and not only fuck up the hood, but the windshield as well. Just make sure you do it right the first time so you don't have a bunch of holes.

You think the hood could fly off if I keep the speed under 80 mph?
