Hood Pins
Anyone know of a good set of hood pins? I'm looking for some made out of stainless steel or something like that. Just need something that will last and wont rust.

Actually just any old set of pins wont work. lots are cheap and will rust easily. also....doesnt anyone here on the board use hood pins? these are something i have to purchase in the very near future and i dont want to go out and buy a ghetto pair somewhere when i could get some high quality ones somewhere else.

Check out Dzus fasteners (http://www.dzus.com/) as they come close to flush, are long-lasting (most of them are stainless) and won't rattle and chip your paint...they were on my vette for years...(actually, they still are on what's left of it *sniff*)...

I use hood pins, too - well, actually they are hood locks.
There are no pins involved, just a key that is used to depress an internal spring. The bad part is that the spring in one of my pins just snapped (after about a year and a half tho) so now I gotta buy another one.
Bought mine at RP for about $40
no rust and look great - haven;t seen anyine else with em yet!
