Default Should I put hood pins on my car?

Do you think I should get hood pins for my car or leave it? No cost is not an issue. No I don't NEED them. My hood lifts slightly on windy days on the highway, otherwise I'm fine. Here is the pins I would get:


Here is my car:

here's the Oem site

Those would be the only ones I would go with if I was going to add them to my car. No cables, no pins that stick up beyond the hood and pretty much a flush mount.

I have sequentials already but yeah Im thinking that way too. Unfortunately I feel like I'd have to do the third brake light and rear side markers as well to complete the look, BUT thats stepping into the $300+ range and i just spent $1500 last week on mods...

My logic points to no. As for the smoked tail lights...those things are so dangerous. I know they look cooler, but it's not worth the risk of getting rear ended and then blame placed on you for reducing brake light output.

Dead serious I like your car the way it is. Hood Pins might not look too bad but I think your car is quite tasteful
