Are these functional or just decorative? I've been toying with the idea
of putting faux pins on my Challenger.

Don't get why people immediately start bashing on a thread. If you don't think someone should have them, then stfu and go back out to the forum and select a different thread. So sick of someone asking for help finding something or asking a question and people ignore the request and jump down their throat

I was a fan of the functional Hood pins back in the day, but I think the ones today are not functional and just glue on.

Are yours functional, I mean are they glued or are the posts bolted into the metal.?

Some people are so pathetic that the Internet is the only place they can go to feel important. They can say things on a forum that they're too afraid to say in real life.

As for hood pins, they can look good if done right but I think they work better on the Challenger.

I don't really get the point of hoodpins, but I do think they look cool.

Personally i love the hood pins on todays muscle cars...im all about that retro look. AJ, youre hood pins AND front bumper are awesome.

[DevilDocFlores]

but my question is the same...are they fully functional hood pins or glue ons?

They do look cool on muscle cars, that have fiberglass hoods and actually need them, they look bad ass

[austinjames]

The hoodpins are stuck on. I could have bought real ones for the same price and drilled the hood, but decided they were more about the look anyways, not the function. The hood latch will do just fine.

I wonder if the same people who think hood pins are unnecessary and therefore stupid would dare say the same thing about their rear deck spoilers...

I agree, or mail slot, or side gills..... Some things are just for looks people get over it

Austin, don't worry about the people that hate on your car. You like it and that's all that matters.
