They don't have to be for looks,but when you can have function,AND looks,that's a good thing.They were just an option to look at anyway.

I think for a car as modern as yours will look and drive, you want a set of Aerocatch hood pins... they're awesome.

AeroCatch® - new design of bonnet pin, available in locking or non-locking versions – see how it works.........

i'm well aware they are not just for looks, im building my car to be a road racer most tracks around here require hoodpins for the track days and ive seen too many fubar's with the hood to not use them
