Default Does anyone make black hoodpins?

I am not a big fan of them but I am going to need some for my Carbon hood. Just don't want to take the risk. Anyone know where to get some black ones?

just paint them. I plan on doing this to my hood locks. Just the big silver circles not the actual part you stick the key into. I too cannot stand how there's just huge silver circles..

Thanks guys. I was looking for an alternative to painting but I might just have to that. Maybe anodize? Anyone have any links to where I can find some hood pins? Until now I always thought they were rice and never payed much attention.

Thanks guys. I think I will most likely go with the JDM Honda parts ones. But I want to check out the MR. Gaskets one first. Probrably cheaper since the others are JDM yo'!
