Default Hood Pins!
The fiberglass around the latch broke on my hood so now it looks like i'll have to pin it. I dont like the looks of hood pins,especially since they will really take away from the custom paint. Does anyone have any opinions on the smallest, best looking hood pins? The less noticeable the better. Dont want to put the tacky looking cheap chrome ones on my car!

Mr. Gasket makes some that lock and have a key that go with it that don't sit too high. Whats wrong with normal hood pins?

The Ford Racing pins are real nice. I think they look fine on the foxes.
