yeah i talked to someone at advanced that sells the mr. gasket ones. he said that they are chrome plated so they would probably end up just like the ones i have now.

LOL, those are stick on pins, they're just for the "race look."

Here's some different pins: http://www.prostreetonline.com...pins/
When I had the Sparco pins, they didn't get rusty over time

 

hahaha, you're right they are... i didnt even realized...i didnt have a pic of my pins so i just searched and found one.

 

dude get REAL og hoodpins. not those ugly sparco ones. get the imca nascar **** that has the wire coming off the pins
these are cool cause the scuff plate is anodized.. im gonna see if this guy has black

 

These are Sparcos, no wire.

yea i just dont like the new style hood pins, i like the old style that you have a wire connected to the loop of the pin and then to the firewall so the pin doesnt get lost when you take it out.. it just looks more race-ish. i think they look better, but maybe you have to actually have them on your car to understand

 

The pins stay in on these, no need for a wire. Also, looking "race-ish" isn't really a concern for me, its more a matter of function.

 

sparco.....nice....pep boys.....rice.

oh ok.. just so you know the ones i posted are 6$ on ebay. the guy has red, blue, black, red, purple
ive never seen any with anodized scuff plates so i think these are cool cause black wouldnt even be noticable on a cf hood

 

could you post the link to the auction?

or you can just email him and buy them for $10 and not bid
