    Hood Pin recomendations

    new fiberglass hood requires hood pins
    I was planning on doing aerocatch but as I think about it the big black blobs on the end of a white hood sound less appealing
    I found quick latch which are small round buttons but I feel like they would be more prone to fail
    otherwise there are old school pins.
    What would you all suggest?


    current


    likely to end up striped again

    Quick latch pins are well made. Beautiful product and function as the should. I have a set and I wouldn’t use anything else personally

    If that's a Cervinis then you don't need any hood pins cuz their hoods are just as heavy as a stock hood and hood pins are not needed.

    120-2000 I believe
    Standard surface mount (flush required cutting up the underside) non locking as I still have the stock latch
    The quick latch buttons were tempting but I didn't feel like they were as safe regardless of how many pounds they were rated for.

    JRP said I could have them painted.
    Im 50/50, I don't have a lot of black accents but I worry it may just look bad color matched
