Now I've seen two thousand different hood pin sets, from anodized black to some cheesy zinc plated looking ones. I don't want anything that is going to eventually rust and spread to my hood or turn color that it looks like crap.

Naturally price is a consideration otherwise I'd buy the Shelby ones for north of a c note.

Thank you all for your help. I look forward to seeing what you all have and what you think of it.

1st: Do you want them for looks or to actually hold the hood down?

2nd:What's the look you're going for? It seems to me there are 3 styles:

A)Sparco style:



B) Shelby Style:



C) Aerocatch



D) Yes there's an option D. WMS makes stealth hood pins. The pins screw to the underside of your hood and these latch blocks hold it in place. nothing shows with the hood closed


I'm sure I neglected a couple types of pins

 

Personally, I have the Shelby's and they've held up great over the last year. They still look new. I don't use the cables though.

 

Cervini's Retro

 

I just realized I forgot twist-lock (like the Cervini's Retro). Here's a close up:

 

Which ones work the best for just holding it down? Is there one that works better? I've noticed my hood is dancing on the hw now.

 

I believe the Cervinis pins require specific Cervinis hoods IIRC.

 

They make pins for both stock and Cervini's hoods

 

Adjust the rubber stops.

 

Good idea! Thanks!

 

I got these. I like em

I have the drake ones from cjponys,they look great,Work great,and hood rattle eliminated,I like the position of them because they bring the pins a bit more to the front

 

Can anybody tell if the pictures a great quality or look pixelated?

 

They don't look great lol

 

Why is it that when I upload a picture with my Iphone they turn out like that? Any clue?

 

The app can't handle the great quality pics that the iPhone takes.

 

Looks like it,sucks

 

+1! i did exactly that and it fixed the problem of the hood fluttering at high speeds 100%!!! never thought of hood pins ever again after that

 

Agreed. It worked. Thanks cdynaco!

 

these are shelby but old school type stainless. a few years no rust. $65 at mustangsunlimited a few years ago.
