Question How do you lock your hoods?

Hood locks or replacement hoot latches with locks? Good or bad experiences would be helpful. Pics and brand names would also be great. Thanks!

No problems with it and pretty much eliminates hood flutter too, and its cheap.

I have this too. Although, I had to modify it a little to make it work...it was worth the price and you cant get in there now

You may not live in a bad area, but might stop by. Nowadays I suspect even the large parking lots in malls.

All it takes is some punkass teenager or drunken idiot no matter where you are. Its extra piece of mind not having to worry about it.
