Looks do count…although everyone fights this statement! Various evidence states it does matter! Look at all types of magazines from automotive and beauty magazines. There are no jalopies on the covers of either. In both cases they are a reworked classic, a modified original or an enhanced late model.

Well Classic Design Concepts, LLC is an avid believer in “Looks” and we depend on them. Their latest looks…Authentic Hood Pins. But these Hood Pins are unique; they do not require drilling into your hood. You just adhere them to your hood using the 3M bonding tape that is standard on this Zinc Die Cast, Chrome Plated, weather resistant hood pins. The lanyards and pins are stainless steel to maintain the quality appearance. Best yet they work on every vehicle; early, late, domestic or imports. These Hood Pins are even perfect for the individual who cherishes the original state of their baby. Just remove them when you want to change back to the stock look.

So CDC does it again with another enhancement to the exterior appearance of the automobile.

Founded in 1990, Classic Design Concepts, LLC., is an original designer and manufacturer of unique restyling products of original equipment quality for the truck and automotive industry.

I see a lot of people talking about ricing out a mustang. Well, unless I am really missing something this would be a clear cut example of that. It's one thing not to like hood pins on a car, but it is another to have to choose between fake ones or real ones. This reminds of the time I was wondering around autozone looking at all the pretty rice stuff and came across a wonderful find. What's this.....simulated zeus fastener sickers to put on my car to make it look like I have lexan racing windows. I knew then I hit the utopia of the aftermarket parts. I try not to comment on a lot of the crazy stuff that I see or read but this beats all. I would expect more from a company that manufactures the shaker hood scoop and or sytem. Or the fact that they want to charge $280.00 bucks for an exhaust tip. Well anyways rant over, that's pretty funny.

I didn't read the release and didn't realize they were fake. That's rediculous.

hood pins are pretty useless anyways IMO.. .they were popular in the 60's and 70's when hood latches were very heavy.

Most people use them for extra added security. Latch failure is common on the 87-93 cars. I am not sure on the newer cars. Now if its a daily driver I see it as useless.

Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark.

I can't wait to see these on a civic. Too cool. I bet they add 5 hp.
