Well, I do have something in mind. Maybe later, since I do not drive it at high speeds. The car rarely sees 80MPH. I am a cruiser and i hog the 2nd to right lane on the freeway and just cruise. It is fun to see people speed up and slow down as your are coasting to take a second look at the car. lol. i get a lot of the thumbs up from some people! hehe.

here's what i want to do with the hood pin situation.



These are the Top Secret Bonnet Latches with locks. And I will be painting them along with the hood where they will blend into the hood and not be seen. More of a stealthy install.





What do you think? I am not a big fan of the pins that stick out or do not match the hood's grooves.

Excellent choice! They look great and will indeed look stealthy. Making them obvious will actually look bad on a GS simply because the GS is more of a classy than sports car.

I bought these ones (they are CF pins as well) which are similar in the stealthy look to yours, but now that I am looking at yours some more, I prefer yours.

yeah if you paint those i see no problem but if you leave it exposed it won't match up with the carbon on your hood. plus the ones i am getting are more sturdy and the key whole is not exposed to the elements. i thinkthe shape of the top secret ones is better flowing with our hoods.
