My new CF hood is on the way, so i’m looking for a set of hood pins. I’m wondering what’s the different between the Sparco hood pins and others hood pins that are on Ebay for really cheap? TIA. ---

I just put sparco’s on my car, Of course all of my fluttering issues were solved with these…and no corrosion yet. I just had to work up a lot of nerve to drill my hood. ![http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P3080538.jpg](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b112/Jskrapper/P3080538.jpg) LOL at Ieatpaint. Take it from him and I…don’t buy hood pins from NAPA. EVAR!!! I did give you a full refund on those right? ---

I have the APC ones on the audi because they are all I could find in a day. The rings rusted in about a day, but they work well. ---

> [@RedDawg](#): > > get those flush mounted locking ones, they look better than the loop pull-pins IMO I can’t because my hood is not flat where the pins are gonna be. It’s on a slightly slope. I think I will get the sparco and powder coat it black. Where do you guys got your Sparco pins from? Most places is like $35 plus shipping. Thanks. ---
