Exclamation Hood Pins for 69 Coupe

So 1969 Mustang Coupe is a project in process.
I am looking for a nice set of locking hood pins for it.
Where can i find these for a good price, but still a quality product?

Thanks in Advance,

I'd use the original C9OZ-16700-A (Ford calls them M-16700-A now), which have changed a bit over the years, but are still available. The main change is the pins are now stainless, instead of chrome, and the greenish tint of the plastic wire covers is gone. You can get these for as little as $40-$50 if you look around. Much better than the $25 crap. I think Glazier Nolan stocks them.

Thank you very very much.
They have them on Amazon also for $35.
I am planning to paint my car silve w/ black racing stripes or midnight blue without. I also might chrome the rear fender flares to add a little contrast to the Dark color scheme.
Do you think the Hood Pins would make a good accessory to this?

Are you talking about chroming the fake scoops on the quarters? If so I would say don't do it. They don't look good chromed or painted a different color. It is way too over done. I would not do racing stripes either. If you wan't to go silver with dark accents just do the factory hood black out. That would look good.

Alrighty that sounds good. I will leave the side scoops the same color as the rest of the car.
And what do you mean by the hood blackout?
