Default Hood Pins

So I'm sure this is beat to death, but I searched to no avail... I need a set of hood pins for my new fiberglass hood.... Question is which ones? I was looking a these.. http://www.stangmods.com/Mustang-Hoo...it-p/00657.htm I wont have any rusting with these right? Anyone have pictures with them or comments on the set? They're FRPP so I'm pretty sure they're good quality, just wanted to make sure before I pull the trigger

Pins are cool but if your gonna spend the money, might as well get locks instead and they you don't have the cable scratching your paint..IMO

Yea but I've heard as long as the lanyards are rubber coated they wont scratch, and where can you get some locks? No point in locks if you have the latch still attached....

I went with these Sparcos because they don't have a cable. The pin stays attached.

Yea, I kinda like those sparcos, good price too.... Still can't decide if I want to go lanyard or not, does anyone have any suggestions on pins with cables that aren't the shelbyautos.com ones.... Those are a bit pricy...

If you like the FRPP ones, check out my write up, they are pretty much the same thing for 1/4 of the cost...
