I got a set of Spectre hood pins from a local parts store , they are stainless steel and still look brand new after the past couple months of daily driving . Cost me about $12.99 at Autozone .

I got the Ford Racing stainless set from American Muscle. Pretty easy install (makes you cringe when you drill through your hood) but looks good.

Sorry this took so long to respond to. These are on a HO FiberTrends 5" cowl hood. The hood is dual layered, so I had to trim the underhood layer to get the re-enforcement plate attached to the bottom side of the hood. The red pins go where the normal hood "bump stops" would be.

thanks bro! i love them too! i never wanted to put hoodpins on my car but after my hood popped up a couple times only held by the safety latch. It scared me into buying hoodpins now they have grown on me to the point where i love them these UPR hoodpins are real nice great quality!
