Which set are you going to use. I haven't been able to locate a set I like. I did see one set that was nice, but they didn't include a lanyard.

I haven't really spent much time comparing them yet, and this is the only link I have saved.

I don't have the link handy with me here at work, but I really like the screw in cap style of hood keepers. Looks much nicer than the pins in my opinion.

Install was not hard. Just take your time. For a good selection of hood pins, check out http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...=egnsearch.asp

Are you talking about the original style that came on the Mach I? I really like those a lot. I believe the cap looked like a Mercedes emblem in the middle. It gave your fingers something to grip on and they were spring loaded.

Thanks. I do too. You can run the cables to loop to the inside or outdside. I like the inside look. Mine are the Sumitt Racing one's. I picked these, because the hairpins stand-up. On the others, they lay on thier side.
