Cons- I use a prop rod that is occasionally in my way. Would I do it again- probably.

Oh- one other positive is that the hood will not fly up if you leave it unlatched.

Thanks for the info, I have had my hood fly up on me before I did my engine and had it painted. It caused quite a bit of damage :-( . That is good to know I won't have to worry about that happening. I have a steel hood. Thanks for your input.
I'm going for the Cool Factor.
