Hood pin wires...in or out?

[blackraven]

An aesthetic question... Do you prefer hood pin wires to be "tucked in" or "tucked out"? I've always had mine curling outwards but came across a few of the Shelby GT-H pics which have them on the inside. So out of curiosity, which do you prefer (or no retaining wires at all?)

I'm not sure if I know what you mean. I've pretty much seen all the ones with exposed wires looking like this...

Which is how I've always had mine setup...but then I came across a few like this:

These things look/perform quite awesome! Spyder7724 has them on his car, so I got to see them and how they work up close and personal No wires to possibly scratch/scuff up your paint, paintable and available lockable

All personal preference, but I like the look of this one over the red one I posted.

I tuck mine in- for two reasons: 1) it looks better, 2) they don't flap in the wind, reducing the risk of scratching..

Here are some pictures..

I have been pushing those aerocatch pins for awhile now. I have seen them in action over a year ago. I am glad to see that Ron @ LRP( Spydershaft7724 ) has them as those will be the pins I use for the hood I put on my TBird. Now I have a place to buy them at...
