I like how they look, in the right application. Plus I thought it would be nice to give more than just opinions and actually give some info regarding the question being asked.

Don't listen to these guys. A lot of guys ran hood pins on the '05-'09.

I haven't noticed any hood vibrations on my '11, so I don't see a need for them.

Come to think of it, I've yet to see a '10+ car with hood pins. At least not that I recall.

I ran hood pins because of hood flutter at highway speeds, but I never liked the way they looked. I bought a new hood recently and i won't be putting them back on.

Sometimes less is more.

I really like the look of the hood pins on my car. I'm glad because after drilling those holes I would have been bummed if I didn't like them.

The stick-on's that Tom posted are a good way to find out weather or not you like the look without the commitment.

I have some of these to use with my Tiger hood. Real carbon, used on many of the GT1 FIA race cars.

Yep, and I'm man enough to admit that they were stick-ons, LOL.

Yep, that's why I did them, I always planned on coming back later and doing real ones but then figured, WTH just leave it alone.

Either way I agree it can be a love/hate thing for sure.
