I know.... the hood pins.... the thing with the pins is that last owner removed the hood latch mechanism in order to allow more air to the lid... there's no way to put a latch back on the hood... so I am stuck with the pins! I am already used to see them there

I do like the handles, I think they set the car off by matching the rims and the pontiac arrow side emblems Keep the comments comming!

Not feelin the handles either. Not something that should have attention brought to. Whether it matches or not. Are they even real or just overlays?

Car looks good otherwise. Love the hood

The handles are overlays I did not have any option on the hood pins... they're there for a reason..... they keep my hood in place!!!

Your car is gorgeous, hoodpins aren't that bad, but I think it'd look better without.

Thanks for the comments! The engine bay needs a little attention, its not dirty or anything, but it looks kind of plain, it does have a carbon fiber air lid, and emissions delete... I do have some corvette fuel rail covers, they're the red ones, I did cut the passenger to make it fit, I still need to work on the drivers. They will look good!!!! I will get pics when done! By the way, these are cell phone pictures, not the best quality, but the it does the job.

I'm increasingly seeing ricer type mods to our Muscle cars that cheapen the meaning to me, I like t/a's, you'rs is sharp, the hood pins I like but please get rid of the chrome door handle overlays!! For the sake of keeping muscle alive.

Thank you for the comment but I really don't see how chrome handles are rice, to me they only add a touch of luxury, like many cadillac or lincoln vehicles. I see your point, and do not take it personally, but..... what does the handles have to do with the muscle cars? How do you relate handles to muscle?

It's called whatever makes him happy. If he doesn't dislike them enough to remove them, then it's not a big deal. I don't understand where the "ricer mod" term came from in regards to the door handles?

By the way, very very nice looking car. I always love T/A's, wish I could have one myself. The C6's really accent the whole car, in my opinion.

I am not trying to get personal, but it does sound like he's considering the handles and hood pins as "ricer mods" at least he likes the hood pins
