I just read about those on a fab form I'm on. One of the members uses them to make kits for removable front bumpers on evo's. I like them

I like them, but would have to use the minis. Thats only $50 for a pair, I can not justify $250 for hood pins lol.

those look badass...but a thought comes to mind that may not seem to have relevance, but to me it does..."i just dont trust something that bleeds for 5 days and doesnt die" haha...(basically a pin through setup is 100% gonna hold..if those balls strip or give, part of your hood can fly up)...therefore, lack of trust lol

Well since this company has the patent or will have it. I do not see the price dropping at all.

That's a much better price. If I need hood pins I'll have to go this route. Pretty cool.

Why not use the stock latch with them? I had pins because wind was getting under the hood by the headlights and lifting up the corners.

That's exactly why I'm getting these for the carbon hood ^^ these will be a tad nicer looking as well than most hood pins.

Friend has them for his 370z cf hood.
his are flat black, ill try and some pics.
And find out if he did them in flat black or if he got them that way.

I do like the way they look alot!

Why is one set $250 and the other set $50?
