Dont get a pin on hood unless you are a hardcore racer. The fit of the bolt on version is so nice why pin it on... let alone have you even had to deal with pulling a hood off by yourself???? Not so fun. Been there made that mistake.

I think you should get the pin-on, because then I can come steal it and bolt it to my car!!!! But seriously, I know the idea of being able to take your hood off sounds cool at first, but you'll be pissed when you forget to put the pins back in or you **** someone off and they pull them for you. There's nothing like watching a $600 hood with a $400 paintjob catching 50 feet of air while you tool along the highway.
