Make sure you get quality ones that will not flake or peel as the other guy said.

You have black accents on your car and the black hood pins would complement it
greatly.

DO IT.
agreed

I don't think you really need them man, I would focus on a more important mod right out of the box...but to each their own eh?

pins add style to your mustang, and its rare to see them so i think theyr unique. i always get girls asking me what they are, nice way to start a convorsation i think the black would definatley look better over the standard aluminum. you dont have any other aluminum/chrome so it may look odd. i probably never would have gotten mine if it wasnt for my aftermarket hood though. I would say get them.

I'd say get them if you're having problems with your hood shaking. That's really the only reason I got mine. The wind in Lubbock shakes the hell out of my hood sometimes, especially when I'm doing 80-85mph driving home to my parents house in Dallas. I have part of mine painted black but the actual pins aren't because the guy who painted them said the paint would just scratch off after a while.

I think the black hood pins would look good on your color car.

Hood pins are lame if you don't have a valid reason for them. Reminds me of Honda Civics with huge spoilers.
