Does anyone have pics of Sparco hood springs or any other springs?
Google doesn't show much.
I'm interested in how strong it holds the bumper to the fender, and how it works.
thanks

Carr McMaster.... You can get some of those spring or rubber latches... is that what you are talking about?

anybody actually use these to hold body panels? I haven't seen many formula D drifters use these.
Are these strong enough to the the body panels together without any other hardwares?

That's because Formula D drifters have a decent budget to devote to the car and it's important to not look like a hacked together POS.
