Default fark!
Does Sparco warranty the structural rigidity of the hoodpins? I say they fail!

Default a pin broke, which the PO put on way too tight because it cracked the silver paint (and CF?)
man, that hood was going to go onto my car. My wife would've kicked me in the nvts if that happened to me.

Default Wow. That sucks...post pics of the carnage.
A buddy of mine had that happen on his old civic. Flew off on the interstate, and hit the car behind him........not good. Sorry to hear, I'd at least call Sparco and report/bitch about this.
