I have the Shelby hood pins. They're all stainless and the lanyards have a soft covering that won't damage the paint. They also have the cleanest swage where it attaches to the pin retainer. It's a small eye terminal, rather than a big metal swage that can bang around.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

You can also find then without the Shelby name on them.

Black Powder Coat them, that would look nice...

I'm not sure if you want the appearance or functionality of hood pins. If you just want functionality but don't want to put holes in your hood check out these.

Western Motorsports (WMS) Stealth Hood Pins, 05-09 Mustang, Shelby GT500. Eliminate hood shake.

I don't have them, but they are on my list for future mods.

I can see those from a strictly functional point of view. To me, the pins through the hood aren't just functional, but scream old-school muscle at the same time.
BTW, Cervinis has just come out with the twist lock hood latches. Sweet.

Joe Heck Racing has about a half dozen or more different kinds here http://www.joeheckracing.com

Everyone seems to like the Shelby/Scott Drake (same). I'd stay away from the OEM Ford ones as I've seen them rust on the lot on new cars.

And it uses off the shelf ball-lock pins.
