Re: Hood pins
One other suggestion, if you want to be a bit more discrete: you can use Dzus fasteners and paint them body color. They barely show up (at least from a distance).

Re: Hood pins
I think they would look good with a cowl hood but not with a stock hood and if you don't have inside hood release you can get some locking ones

Re: Hood pins
I have a set, they were on there when I bought it. I think they look alright. To be honest... unless someone reminds me, i forget they are there.

Re: Hood pins
IMO they should only be used with a fiberglass lift-off hood! lol.

Re: Hood pins
I installed hood pins since my hood was catching turbulence on the highway and rattling up and down from not having front inner fenders..

Re: Hood pins
87GMCChris does your hood "flutter" at highway speeds with their location ?

Re: Hood pins
No more flutter. The pins keep the hood nice and snug at the corners now.
