I never cared for the look of hood pins for various reasons.
ok, some cars look alright with them but I think most of us would agree
those same rides would look better/cleaner without.
Ford had some hood "buttons" that were better but not great.
Surely we can come up with a more elegant solution for what seems like a hack from the 60's.
So what other options are available that would not be visible from the top?

da.

Now that's funny

Tony thanks for the plug on Hoodpins.net.

Ron is busy working on some really cool new design hood pins.

He is even working with the gentlemen that owns hoodpins.com and we are going to start producing his set also.

You should see some really cool hood pins coming soon.
