Default Hood pins pics

Anyone think that putting hood pins on my dsg gt is a good idea? I spent like 1 hour searching for pictures but can't find and pics. I want pics of the stock hood and bumper. Thanks. Also, you think it'd be a good idea to paint my factory hood scoop and the area below it matte black?

Honestly I think itwould look overdone on the stock hood.
Same thing goes for the painted faux hood scoop.

Real hood pins or the fake stick on ones? This is just my opinion, but I don't think our cars, or any newer car, look good with hood pins. Now, a 68 Camaro, 69 Charger, 69 Boss Mustang, any old school muscle car, then yes. It works.

If you do it, do real ones.

Go to AmericanMuscle.com and search for their hood pin kit. Think they only offer the fake ones. There will be a bunch of user pics of our cars with them.

Edit: I'd leave your hood scoop same color. Your car is beautiful. It doesn't need anything. A Mach 1 chin spoiler and a grill delete kit is the only thing I see that would benefit the cosmetics.

The fake ones will still work if you want, get some heat under that hood, buy a hood, and then invest in hood pins. Just my opinion though

New Edge Mustangs look just fine with real deal hoodpins!
