I saw the stainless hood pins offered by Pep Boys (and Autozone) installed on Frank Bohanan's Mustang Enthusiast project car today at the Orange County Mustang Club show at John Force's Race Station.

Frank mounted the pins in the radiator core support, and it looked real slick and factory.

I think he said they cost about 8 bucks, and he says it keeps the hood pretty secure at up to 160 (he's done the Silver State run and other racing events).

He also said with a custom hood (his is carbon fiber), hood pins are the only way to go to keep it from shaking so badly.
