Should I save $200 or buy a bolt on instead?
I want to buy a 4 inch cowl induction and the company that I'm buying from makes two versions. I can save around $200 if I go with the pin on hood rather than buying the bolt on hood. But how do you think a pin on hood would look on an early 4th Gen. Camaro?

Seen pics of the pin on hood - and I don't like it.
Dunno if you have noticed or not, but most of the cars on TF&F are pin ons, so you catch my drift?
$200 is a lot just for a difference in the same hood - but you gotta think - the latch style hood has to be more rigid, probably a different mold all together, so that it can stand pressure from the hood shocks and can also take being slammed down everytime you shut it.
