Z Speed hood pins are ideal for both race cars and street cars. For racing, the heavy stock hood latch is often replaced by hood pins for easier access as well as weight reduction. In addition, hood pins keep the hood securely fastened so that the hood will not pop up in an accident or if the hood becomes loose. On a street car, hood pins are ideal for cars with light weight carbon hoods. At high speeds, light carbon hoods may flap around in the wind and become loose, potentially popping open. Hood pins secure the hood against the wind.

Z Speed hood pins feature all aluminum construction for protection against oxidation and corrosion.
