## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by R***J on January 21, 2014*

The price is right and the quality is more than I had expected it to be. I would recommend this as an inexpensive yet reliable hood pin set.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't beat the price, but beating the quality isn't hard.
*by F***. on July 21, 2015*

These were my go-to hood pins until I finally bit the bullet and bought some awesome Sparco hood pins with the retaining plate. The problem with the Spectre hood pins is that the little cross pin is weak and prone to rattling out. The cross pins almost always bend or shear if the race car is in an accident. Once a cross pin bends even a little bit, the retaining ring doesn't do its job anymore and it is only a matter of time before it rattles out on the track. These pins are so cheap, I just bought more for along time and lived with it, but eventually I ended up going through something like 10 sets of these suckers over 6 years of racing. I still have lots of the actual hood pins and the little plates left, but once I got below 4 cross pins, I decided to look for another solution. I do still have a couple of sets of these pins in my spares, just in case the fancy Sparco set ever gets damaged!

### ⭐ Cheap, junky and will cost more in the long run! Avoid at all costs!
*by J***S on July 30, 2015*

These things are awful. After maybe 3-4 uses one of my pins broke. I contacted amazon and received replacement in a few days. Put new clips on and went for a 15-20 min drive...arrive to work and notice that one of the pins are missing! Imagine if both would have went and my hood would have went flying. Would not trust these for a 1 mile drive. Luckily when the pin fell off it did not seem to ruin my 2 week old paint job on my Camaro!! Please take my advice and stick to the "safety pin" style pins. A bit bigger but they go on tight, nothing can shake loose and seem to do a pretty good job.
