$HIT!! I wish i would have researched the twist locks when you mentioned them, i didn't know what you meant.!!!! I already ordered the saleen pins. Damn once you showed me that picture it looked freakin awesome. Where do you get those? i might consider selling the saleen and getting those!! btw here is a picture of my hood

I was hit in a parking lot & had to have the hood & front bumper replaced. The body shop tried getting the shake out of my hood as well as me trying. The only way I could get it to stop is was to adjust the stops higher than they should be & then the hood wouldn't line up so I installed the shelby pins without the shelby printed on them. Then I had the base powder coated & it stopped all my hood flutter.

I kind of feel a little bad about pushing the twists, because seeing them on the KR prototype, I figured they would be sort of easy to find, and made specificlly for our model years.
But after a little digging, it seems that yes they can be found, but they are from late 60's early 70's vintage Mustangs, but can be made to fit our cars.
Secondly they are not cheap, which for me is not a problem even though I am poor, I knew this car would end up costing me a ton of money, and time [mostly saving up money] to get the dream look I am going for.
Now that I got that out of the way, here are a few links I found where to buy, the cheaper ones don't look to be complete kits, but do have the other parts listed.

In closing remember anything worth doing, is worth doing right.
