Default Which hoods pins to get ???? Pic inside

I am leaning towards a tradition stye but not sure. Anyone seen some high quality ones??? I know Jack had this other latch system but I dont think it would look right on this hood. below are some other ones.

Hotchkis

I honestly don't know, I don't dislike any of them.
But I'd have to say Quick Latch.

I like the old school style with the stainless lines going under the hood to keep the pins from getting lost. That is my favorite style.

The quick latch is unique to me anyway. I would go with those but I have to admit I like the traditional look and will be getting those when I get my cowl good. Car is looking bad *** by the way.

Might I suggest.

https://mustangboards.com/pictures/3...fications.html

http://www.aerocatch.com/

I think they would be just as much work to install that those quick latches.

Thats what I am thinking. I have looked at some but the lanyards look cheap. The Shelby ones are nice but not sure about fitment. I may go with the Hotchkis but noticed they dont come with lanyards.

the whole lanyard look is vintage/cheap looking. I have FRPP pins and they have the teflon coated lanyard.

Like wise. I still like the way the FRRP hood pins look on my car. you cant really tell that they are coated in teflon atleast froma distance.

I think I like the Shelby non logo ones as they come with everything including a rubber part to protect your hood from scratches.

I like those. I'm not a fan of the simple Sparco kind, I'd much prefer a round FRPP or that those above.
