Hood Pin Recomendations

I need some hood pin recomendations cause I just ordered a CF hood. I know that they come with the factory latch but I want the hood pins to go with it just to be safe. I am currentyl looking at cusco locking hood pins. http://estores.merchantpartners.com/...roducts_id=115

I actually ordered a TC sportline hood. I have seen many hoods by them in person and have really like there quality. A JDM carbon hood would cost more than a grand after shipping and import fees. I also get a good deal from the shop that a member of my car club works at. I only paid slightly over the cost.

Mugen is just a regular pin:



The Cuscos do lock, so there is somewhat of an advantage...although installation is a little more challenging.

it would cost more than twice as much to get a JDM one. yes I am doing a JDM conversion but not every product has to be JDM I try to keep everything JDM but I will get more points for the hood and I still want to get the spoon monoblock 4 piston brakes. sometime.
