I saw these on the gold Top Secret Supra and thought they looked great. One thing for us to keep in mind though, is that they're kinda large and FLAT. Our hoods are so curvey that these might not secure well, or look weird...
good find though! I'm always up for a different kinda hood pin. I hate my current ones.

Wow, and they lock.
Dude, I think I'll get these for my hood.
VERY nice find my man.

That's not that bad for what you get. Most of the ones I've seen or bought RUST easily.

I'm not a big fan of the look of hood pins. That's one of the reasons I've been procrastinating on picking up a new hood. But this looks like a perfect solution.

I like the locking hood pins. They don't stick out much and... they're LOCKING. Look into some of those.

Unfortunately Majik, those rust. Easily.
Also, it's a royal PITA to try to get them to line up correctly on our angled hoods.
The ones posted in this thread LOCK. As in with a key.
