Default Show me the hood pins!!!

Ok, I already searched, I really did, but with no luck. I really want hood pins but I have no idea which brand or where I want them located at. So if you all would be so kind as to post pics of your hood pins I would be grateful!

I don't have pics cause I don't have hood pins yet but go with the Shelby hood pins, they're the best. But there's a write up for a $14 hood pin set-up that looks nice if you don't want to dish out $100.

+ 1... i have not installed any yet because I hate the cord dangling. I like the twist ones but not sure if they will work on a stock hood or not....

I'm not too concerned about the price, and I actually like the corded ones. I really just am curious about placement, I think some places on the hood look better than others and I would like to compare pics/brands.

Those look like they would work on the stock hood as well based on the location you have them. Am I correct or way off??

Are the shelby hood pins normally so far out to the sides of is your more of a custom setup?

I have an extra set of the silver Shelby hoodpins if you're interested. Couldn't decided between the black or silver. PM me if you're interested, will save you $$.

umm....you guys realize that the lanyards are optional on EVERY hoodpin kit right? the only purpose they serve is so you dont lose the pins when you take them out... i have the ford racing kit *one of the best on the market, for all stangs* and i just threw the lanyards away
