Arrow Need help choosing Hood Pins!

The car goes to dyno on Dec 13 so i decided to go ahead and mount the 01 cobra bumper and steeda hood. Long story short, i forgot the hood needed hood pins or a latch welded on. i opt for the pins. heres the two styles im going with. The Ford Racing from AM or the Daystar pins. the daystars come with a polyurathane gromet to prevent the fiberglass from cracking and will eliminate rattling. the ford racing is proven to be really good. tell me what you think!

I had the FRPP kit on my old hood and it did just fine. I like the other kit you posted. the other kit I always liked was the one from Shelby

I like that Ford Racing Kit on my '95 GT. No rattles, vibrations or any issues what so ever. As long as it's installed properly, the FRPP hood pins are great!

I'm digging the daystars too, only thing tart deters me away from them is the possibility of dry rotting
