Default Stealth hood pins for my 2012 GT

I emailed WMS and their stealth hood pins don't work on 2010+ cars. I have an aftermarket fiber hood and it flutters like you wouldn't believe. I need to secure it, but I HATE how hood pins look. Does anybody here know of another company that sells stealth pins for my car?

Thanks, but I want stealth. I don't want anything on the top side of the hood. Like these:

The fiberglass hood that I have on my truck fluttered really bad at first also. It was fitted with the springs on it and the latch raised up all the way. What I had to do is disconnect the spring, lower the latch down all the way, then adjust my rubber bump stops. Now, it is as stable as my steel hood was and no pins. You could try the latch and bumpstops first, then if that doesn't work remove the struts. If the struts are too stiff for fiberglass it will keep the hood raised up going down the road and will cause it to flutter. Doesn't hurt to try it before going through the whole hood pin install.
