Hood Pin Extension 1-3/4in

The Hood Pin Extension 1-3/4in by ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE is an essential fastening component for street rods, race cars, and high-performance vehicles where hood security and quick access are priorities. Whether you're building a show car, a weekend warrior, or a dedicated track machine, hood pins prevent unwanted hood flutter at speed and ensure reliable hood retention during aggressive acceleration or cornering. This extension allows you to use pins with longer engagement depth, accommodating thicker hood assemblies or custom fiberglass hoods commonly found in modified vehicles.

Manufactured by ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE—a trusted name in street rod and racing hardware—this 1-3/4-inch extension piece is engineered to provide secure, fail-safe hood retention without the weight penalty of traditional hood latches. The compact profile (7.05 inches long, 0.95 inches wide) makes it ideal for tight engine compartment layouts common in restorations and custom builds. Lightweight at just 0.11 pounds, this extension integrates seamlessly with standard pin kits and adds minimal mass while maximizing structural integrity and peace of mind at any RPM.

Mechanics and fabricators favor hood pin extensions when working with aftermarket hoods, carbon fiber panels, or composite materials that require deeper pin engagement than factory designs. Installation is straightforward—simply add the extension to your existing hood pin hardware for increased holding power and hood security. Compatible with most universal hood pin kits and standard pin diameters, this ALLSTAR PERFORMANCE extension is ideal for street rods, drag cars, circle track racers, and any enthusiast seeking reliable hood retention without sacrificing underhood visibility or ease of service access.
