ok when i fucked my car up on the curb i tried to open my hood and the handle snapped off...apparently the fender got so out of whack it is pushing against the hood and the cable wasnt strong enough to open it but i got a pair of vice grips and open the hood...but now when i shut the fucking thing everytime i hit a bump it opens up so im driving 1,000+ miles on 95 down to florida with everyone staring at my hood i dont know how to fucking fix it.....i tried to realign the fender but apparently im too stupid to do that...i took off all the bolts that hold it on inside the engine bay but it wouldnt bug at all i dont know where there are any other bolts holding it on...and also when i was doing that it looked like it could only be adjusted front to back....but i need it adjusted side to side and front to back...fuck i dont know what the hell should i do....i dont like driving with my hood open all the time

just get a new hood latch!
or a c/f hood with hood pins (last resort!)Comment
-
i was looking for a new hood latch but all i could find was the cable and handle but i dont think its the latch because it closes i just think the fender move over so far its budged up against the hood and the latch isnt grabbing the hood properly so it keeps opening when i go over slight bumps how much are hood pins and how much do they go for? and are they easy to install?Comment
-
You don't want hood pins, you have to drill them thru your hood and they rest on top, fucking ugly...
The best thing to do seems to have your fender fixed.Comment
-
yea but my hood got fucked up too...theres now lots of paint chipping off of it and theres some dents i really dont care about the looks i just want it to stay fucking closed so i can drive on the highway to school....
so again if anyone knows how easy hood pins are to install please let me know ...this seems like the easiest cheapest fix...i found a set for 20 bucks and i think im gonna buy themComment
-
OMG dude, don't install hood pins, ewwComment
-
like i said i dont give a fuck what they look like but they would be functional for my application and much cheaper then spending money at a body shop to have them fix my hood, fender,latch,cable and handle i can do the handle and cable myself but i would save a shit load of money just buying hood pins for now like i said i dont give a fuck what they look like or who likes them im not buying them cause i want my car to look like an awesome honda ricer i want them so my fucking hood will stay closed...so my question stands...how hard are they to install on a oem e30 hood?Comment
