I agree I have the regular ones from UPR, but I also have the bullet style pins in my wifes 05, the bullets are much larger.

Though they're certainly not shaped like the stock cylindrical door pins I've got a set of the MGW pins and they're awesome! They're really well designed, fit perfectly, and are very secure.

yes the regular ones recess down unlike the bullet ones
*actually I believe the ones I have are called the "Stock" and not regular/designer.*

Really, I have the regular stock pins and they do not go all the way down like the mustang stock ones. Maybe I did not tighten them all the way. But they were real snug when I stopped screwing them down.

i have the buillet ones too and they broke my door lock.i dont know how it happened but it seems like when they lock and unlock they get tighter by themselves.so eventually they became too tight from all the locking and unlocking and now the passenger side pin doesnt lock or unlock at all.
i havent gotten around to getting it fixed though but will tell the service manager during my next service.

No the stock style pins from UPR do not go down as far as the original pins. In fact, when in the lock position they stick stick up about as far as the originals in the unlock position, just to give you an idea of the height. The picture posted above is with the pin in the lock position.
I complained to UPR about it and not only did they say they wouldn't correct their mistake, they were pretty rude.
I won't be buying anything else from them. I HATE bad customer service.

Now thats yet another reason why I'm so happy with my MGW pins. You screw them down to the height you want them and then use the allen key to lock them in place. Once they're secure you screw down a black insert into the pin and then screw on top of it a chromed cap.
Very nice design and the folks at MGW are great to work with!!

I have not had a problem with UPR being rude, or anything, I live about 10 minutes away from their office so I have met the owner in person and also their reps and they were very nice to me, guess I am lucky.

Here's a comparison. It's not bad. Probably 3/8" difference, but the original height looks much better to me.
