I am going to put hood pins on my car...looking for different styles, etc. Anyone have ideas or, better, pics??

Anyone have Aerocatch hoodpin latches? Those are looking pretty trick.

Here are some pins I put on my 96 after I removed the cables and latches. I don't see any point to putting hood pins on these cars unless you have removed the latches. Since the hood open backwards, it would take a lot for it to open at speed even if it wasn't completely closed.

Ok, I had to look because I couldn't figure out where hood pins would go on a clam shell. Thought this was going to be like the C4 fender covers. Once I was blind and know I can see....

Looks good Mojave. Where did you get those?

I got mine from Alan Blaine of Blaine Fabrication, only because it was part of a larger order. I wish I could remember the brand off-hand because they were pretty cheap (like $7 each). I can look it up later.

How about something like these, or at least the the push and twist style to keep the aerodynamic look of the hood.

yep...those are the latches I am most interested in. They are really expensive, but they are fascinating. I don't know if they are worth $90 per latch, but, maybe they are.
