Hood Pins??

Im going to have to run them on my car because I just dont trust the Fiberglass hood to take it.. So what are the best looking/low profile Hood Pins going right now?? I was going to try some Zus fastners, but I wanted to see what everybody else is running..

Hotchkis makes a nice set. They are kinda pricey though.....

If I had access to a lathe & mill I would make up more of these:




Aluminum base plates and 1/2 " stainless pins.

I was thinking about using 2 DZus Fastners on the front of the hood only.. Im not a big fan of the Hotchkis Hood Pins for some reason.. I kind of like the clean look of the keyed locks..

these are the best for holding down a hood and are very aerodynamic
