fgwinn Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Hood star in an accident I would say it depends on the speed. After a certain point it would not make a difference. | ||

Yea they have to much bend and the edges are kind of dull... I think we should look for a mod that makes the hood star solid and sharp possibly attaching the battery to the star so people will get shocked for trying to touch it. | ||
