Hood Pins

Searched and searched... this seems to be the best kept secret on the boards.

For those who have installed hood pins, which one did you use? I'm getting ready to have my seibon hood painted and want to put on the pins before the paint is done.

no, it's not going anywhere. But even Seibon suggests using hood pins and i'm a firm believer in the "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

Autozone comes to mind. I think they even have some that just stick on to your hood with glue. super easy install.

I shall smite thee sir!

I understand where I could go to purchase them, but I'm wondering if anyone has had better success with one brand over the other.
