Pardon my possible ignorance, but that looks like a stock hood, so why pins?

You know, I like what you did with it. The windshield and hood look pretty nice now. Any chance I can have a windshield like that?

Pins are used to make damn sure that the hood stays down. If you have pins, you don't have to worry about the hood flying off.

Well, not so effective in this case. I was under the the assumption they were intended for lighter hoods, aluminum, CF, etc... so I'm guessing incorrect installation or as stated cheap pins?

My reply was meant as a joke. Red color text indicates sarcasm/joking.

My bad too for not including the following in my previous post. Your definition of hood pins is very accurate.
