Default Shelby hood pins, help me decide...

I've decided to purchase a set of the Shelby billet hood pins, can't decide on the black or polished set. Leaning toward the black.. What do you think?

I would go with black. Although if the rest of your car is sporting a chrome/polished look then I would go with the polished.

Exactly what I was thinking(Thats why I asked for more pics)...But it looks like he has a black out panel so I am sure most of the other stuff on his car is black

I honestly would go with the polished billet hood pins, I think they would probably look alot better...., Are your rim's chrome? Or alluminum?

Other than the stock chrome pieces, I have the SHR blackout panel. I'm thinking that the black will fill the void on the hood and blend well with the hoodscoop insert. I've also added the 1/4 window louvers recently (torch red).

I think black would be pretty cool, but I think that depends on your future mod plans.

Rims (chrome or black)? Changing the stock turn signals (clear or smoked)?

If you're going for a dark look, definitely the black hood pins. If you're planning on adding some light shiny pieces (like chrome rims or clear turn signals) then the polished pins will probably serve you better.

I vote black too. I have been thinking of the same pins for my car. If you get them post pics and your opinion as to whether the kit is worth the money. The FRPP pins are cheaper, but tend to rust pretty quickly from what I have seen onother cars. They don't look quite as nice as these either.
