I just ordered the black shelby hood pins yesterday from cj pony parts. They had a 1 day sale going and I got the hood pins for $94

I wish I could get away with not installing them, but on the highway @ 80 - 90 mph the sides of the hood lift 1/4 - 1/2 inch obove the fender. The first time it happened I thought my hood latch had popped to the safety catch so I pulled over and it was locked tight. The hood is a carbon fiber hood and only weighed 21 lbs. before paint, so it is very flimsy. The only reason I really need to have them is I am being limited to the 1/8th mile track, but would really like to see what the car could do in the 1/4 mile.

Here's a link that apparently doesn't have the Shelby lettering on them..

I need to order a set but have to make sur they will be tall enough to clear my hood. I believe mine sits a bit higher than stock hood.

Just got off the phone with Shelby. They are NOT getting the black ones in without the SHELBY on them. Sounds like they're not getting anymore of the black ones in because the sales guys didnt think they'd sell enough. So it looks like the choices are:

A. Get the plain billet one
B. Get the plain billet one and have it painted black / powdercoated maybe.
C. Suck it up and get the Shelby one (even though I don't own a Shelby).

I'm leaning heavily towards C.

RHuckster, how much is getting them powdercoated costing you? Would love to see a pic of how they turn out!

Get the black shelby ones.
The hood pins are manufactured by Shelby, it's not saying your car is.
The black is gonna look sweet on your car!

I have the black shelby ones and I love the way they look. They are a pain in the butt to install and it took me a while to figure out where the supplied brackets go but once I got that figured out it went well. One thing I suggest is getting stainless steel screws instead of using the supplied ones, they are aluminum and I snapped 3 screw heads off. Even after drilling pilot holes. So I went and got stainless ones and the problem was solved. If you have any questions on the install just let me know.

No installationhelp needed. There's a Ford dealer here that sells Roush's....thinking I might take it to them. I don't have the tools, patience, or ***** to do that kind of thing to my hood myself hahaha! Thanks for the advice though.

After thinking about it, I'm probably just gonna get the pins that say Shelby. Cheaper and easier than trying to get them powdercoated.
