never heard of bonnet pins being an option. just gives the car that hardcore racer look for cheap. that and i think most auto race events (motorkhanas, gymkhanas) and such require bonnet pins before they let you on the course.

Not a factory option - but they are a great way of ruining a nice RS bonnet!!!

how fast are you going when the corners of the bonnet start lifting up?

are all escorts that horribly un-aerodynamic? or is your bonnet latch just loose?

It's solid in the middle, just a bit shaky on the corners
