joeheck racing.com has good hood pins at a good price.

I love the look of hood pins I think they add to the cars look IMO

Yes, the hood latch can fail, especially on a fiberglass hood, I would suggest investing in a pair. There are some options out there as mentioned above, but they are all going to look similar.

Those look really good, i wonder how well it would hold onto the underside of the fiberglass hood.

Other than that, where can I get the KR hood pins at? I bet they aren't cheap.

Ok, I just read the instructions for the stealth pins and it says that they are compatible with aftermarket fiberglass hoods as long as the hoods have the same little flat base on each side where the pins install.

Cervinis sells what I think is going to be the closest thing I can get to the GT500KR hood pins. Plus they're made for my hood so that's good I guess.
