I can't wait to see how those pins turn out. I need new pins, and I don't want to keep getting cheapos that rust within a year. I have my current crappy pins between the high-beam humps in the hood. I like them there more than anywhere else.

^^^^Tibby,
Do you have any problems with the middle rising up at higher speeds on the highway, due to your pins being so wide?
