Default What's the best hood pins on the market?

This morning i was going about 90-100mph and my hood started shaking like crazy i thought it was going to flip open and block my view, i was like oh s*** im going to die. I had to get out of the highway to reclosed the hood. I have the stock hood. So was the best hood pins on the market. Will the hood pins help with this issue?

And as another option I will throw the aerocatch into the mix.

I don't really think there's a "best" hood pin, it's more or less a matter of preference, because they are all going to do their job, which is going to ensure the hood stays closed at high speeds.

I am in the process of doing the GT500 front end conversion, trufiber venom hood, GT500 rear spoiler and some other things and I figured with everything I was doing, I was going to go with the shelby pins.

Shelby here not sure about the best but they look killer and somehow having them on my car makes a lot of people think its an actual shelby

You can also get the Shelby's without the "Shelby" marking on them. That's what I've got on mine and I really like them.
