I need to get hood pins for my car... I prefer the flush style hoodpins verses the ones that actually use the pin and lock system. I've looked all over the internet and have seen the go for as much as $100 and as low as $9.99. Can anyone lead me in the right direction as far as what brands to look for and and your experiences with hood pins...

Thanks,
I'm new

i got the lockable ones from pep boys in the domestic rice section across from the import rice section. stainless steel, no rust, installed for 5+ years w/ no probs. i think i paid $10-20 for them.

I NEED hoodpins because my shit is fluttering at high speeds... I def. want to go quality hoodpins... I'm willing to pay, but I dont want to drop $100 on hoodpins if they arent better than $30. Any name brands I should go over...

Has anyone had experience with "Aerocatch" Hoodpins?

Yo, Shin who came to the meet today has hood pins on his IS 300 (carbon fiber hood). Maybe want to ask how/what he did.
