I thought the wings west hood had the lil fake side vent things.
but i do plan on getting hood pins, but not the medal post ones, the ones that are the oval shaped taps
but i do have the NRG hood prop kit
but i was sitting at a BK drive thru and he just drove up next to me and asked if i wanted to buy a hood... he said 30 bucks and i said hell ya lol
Wasnt going to let that deal go.
Thanks, im still in shock that i was able to get a nice hood, not cracked for only 30 bucks and then all that other stuff for another 30 bucks.
well if it is stolen goods, sure did a good job at taking it off the car lol, all that's kinda hard to get off and boxed up and stuff without breaking/scraping something, unless he took it from someone elses garage.. either way it was a good deal, im so jealous haha, I want another hood, don't know why, but with that deal i'd take it in a sec.
but anyways some of the West Wing Evo hoods do have those side vents, I think the older versions are the ones that don't but Chris (slug420) bought the hood I have on my car now, and that's what he posted on his sale thread, he was pretty good at keeping everything documented and keeping the old stuff.. but here

don't try taking his idea and clear coating mica on there! haha, I like the originality of mine
oh and also I've been pretty good at not needing the hood pins, but they couldn't hurt, I hear that other people have a little rattle and stuff on their hoods, those hoods are really well constructed and since the latch part is bolted in there (I think a lot of others are just glued) it's really sturdy, I don't have any rattle/movement in the hood when it's latched, you'll just have to dremmel out a little bit around the latch so it fits correctly, I don't have a pic of it, but if you notice when you close the hood that you need to kinda force it down, just dremmel out the hole more so the point section on the hood latch can fit correctly, if you have the same problem, but maybe not...
