Damn, those look really clean and flush. Can you give a link of where to get some. I have caught people getting into my hood while I am at Walmart or somewhere. I need something that locks better than my hood pins and single hood latch. You get originality points!!
you will need locks to keep people out from under the hood for sure. Those fasteners come apart w/ a simple screwdriver or even a coin like someone said.

Very nice, very clean. The only reason I would be afraid to use them is if my stock hood didn't have a latch. But, if the latch served as the secondary security measure...Then that is the best looking way to go.

come on now guys (and girl). Hood pins have been around since muscle cars. They're not "pep boys hood pins." If you like that clean look, you should consider hood locks. They're flush and they use a key to secure your hood. Added security against theives, fastening of hood, and good looks.
Here's some on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1871853665

Those are a really good idea, but i don't like that big metal disc around the lock mechanism. kinda takes away from the clean appearance

I wouldn't trust those holding my hood down. I work at a drag strip. I can't tell you how many of those things we have found on the ground (after falling off of cars). If you can get them to work for you But I would rather use another method.
