Hood & Hair Pin Kit

The Hood & Hair Pin Kit from SPECTRE is an essential fastening solution designed for vehicle owners and mechanics who need secure, vibration-resistant hood retention during high-performance driving, off-road use, or extended track sessions. This kit addresses a critical need: keeping your hood firmly latched when engine vibration, rapid acceleration, or rough terrain threaten standard factory latch mechanisms. Whether you're running a modified engine with increased displacement, upgrading your suspension, or simply want redundant safety hardware, hood pins provide peace of mind that your engine bay stays sealed and protected.

SPECTRE's hood pin design uses precision-machined construction with hardened steel components to eliminate hood flutter and rattling that can occur on modified vehicles with stiffer suspensions or enhanced engine output. The hair pin locking mechanism engages quickly and securely without requiring tools, allowing you to release the hood in seconds when needed for engine access. This kit weighs 0.66 lbs and is compact, making it lightweight enough for performance-focused builds where unsprung weight matters.

These pins work by drilling corresponding holes into the hood and frame, then inserting the pins through both panels and securing them with the included hair pin retainer—a method proven across racing applications and high-vibration environments. This kit benefits drag racers, autocross competitors, and off-road enthusiasts, providing a universal fit for both domestic and import platforms.
