If you are tacking the main bonnet release off and using them properly then why not. I would get proper steel ones though

If they are done correctly i think they look good in my opinion, going to sort out the splitter correctly and hopefully before i go aboard in July order a TRS Yellow Strap and maybe the bonnet pins if i know how to do them right :y:.

Remember if you don;t like them you will be left with 4 holes in your bonnet

I know dude thats why am like 50/50, i really do like the look of them but it's the fact if you do take them off for some strange reason you will be left with holes in your chassis.

No man, I wouldn't say that, I wanna get some for security, I don't want my bonnet flipping. I don't have faith in my bonnet catch.

They are pretty easy to fit, and you can use existing holes in the slam panel

pain in the arse to pop your bonnet if you have the stock latch still in. and if you don't, expect someone to rob your engine

they're on my vtr as they were put in, i think they're an annoying but necessary thing. having to get out, take out pins, then go back and pop the bonnet, gets old when you need to do it again and again.
