Anyone use locking hood pins?
Hate the idea of my hood cable breaking and thought installing some locking hood pins would head off any future problem. Since they are locking they sit pretty much flush with the hood rather than have a pin sticking up with a bog o bobby pin in it. Also if I get some chrome vents for the front and rear it would accent them.
Any users out there with pics?

Do not rely on those to keep your hood down alone. The vibrations will cause the roll pins to open up the hole that they fit in which will cause the pin to fall out and then you won't have a hood latch. I know this from experience with those same hood latches. The center of the lock which holds the pin is made from some very cheap alminum.
