What Hood Pins Would You Suggest?
I recently picked up a CF Hood:

(No I didn't pay near that much)
And I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for what hood pins would work/look the best? Thanks, Tyler

I bought the Ford Racing pins, haven't installed them yet due to the fact that my C-Series install is not complete yet. I like the look of em and they are functional. They were not too cheap but w/e. I did see a thread on here somewhere on how to install some hood pins for like 10 bucks so you might want to check those out.

I have the Steeda "captured" style. Very heavy duty and you don't have to worry about cables. They were a snap to install too. The only tools needed were a cordless drill (to make the radiator support holes a bit larger and for the hood holes) and a dremel tool comes in really handy to do the finishing work on the holes to make them smooth.

Always come across these and they might look good with a CF hood. I like my sparcos though
