Moroso makes some. I got mine at summit. I don't have any really good pictures of them, but they are right behind the headlights.

I have the quick release ones and I like them. They are small and not really noticeable. When I got my carbon fiber hood, going down the interstate was a scary experience. The hood looked like someone was pushing up in the middle. After installing the hood pins, it still moves a little at high speed, but nothing to worry about.
