+a ton to the shelby ones.. yeah they are expensive, but are super nice quality, i have them, but havnt installed them yet cause i am waiting for hood still


and yes.. they are easily as nice as this picture makes them look
Where would you get those and how much?
Those are the Shelby hood pins and you can get them at shelbyperformanceparts.com that particular pair is $104.95, there is a stainless steel hood pin kit for $64.95, that's what i got and couldnt be happier, althought that billet kit looks pretty cool

After a recent incident i have decided I need some hood pins!

If you install them on a hood would there be any reason you couldn't reuse them on a different hood should you make a change? I'm thinking about changing the hood this summer and was wondering.

Whoa! Those shelby billet pins look nice. I would have gone with the Shelby or Joe Heck pins if I wanted the cables. Otherwise the Steeda or Sparco (basically the same product from England) captive-style, which is what I have.

I also like the "aero-catch". May be rice to some but I like the technology.

They are definitely re-usable. Just unscrew the pins/latches and transfer. My hood use to rise/lift about 3-4' in the middle near the air-scoops before the pins. Now I don't see it move more than about 1/4'. That may seem like a lot, but with a 5-10lb hood I don't mind it . MUCH reduced with the pins.

depends, if there isnt anything in the way of where you need to drill in the hood, you should be alright.
