Default Where can I find Black Chrome Hood Pins?

Anybody know where you could get a set of black chrome hood pins? I have the FRPP hood pins (haven't installed them yet) and want a more muted look...not the shiny stainless on a black car.
Anyone know where I could ship them and get them dipped (in black chrome of course)? I thought the chrome would look better than painting them. Any ideas, opinions?

Have you considered having them powdercoated locally? You could probably find someone under the Metal Finishing listing in the phone book. It's a little harder to find, but you might be able to find someone who does anodizing, which would be even better.

This is one company I was looking at to do some chrome work for me. They specifically mention doing black chrome:
Advanced Plating. Chrome Plating and Powder Coating

Nope...never got it done. I still have those pins in my basement...geez they must have a lot of dust on them now. I keep on saying to myself that it will be done some day.

Those are awesome. I have been looking for black hood pins, but could only find the non-functional stick on ones. Thanks for posting these.

I bought the black non functional ones from AM because I didn't want to drill into my hood, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be hitting speeds high enough where hood pins actually would keep my hood from being ripped off the hinges and sent flying off the highway hehe. Anyways, they are really nice quality and they look amazing! I wish I had pics for you but I haven't snapped any yet. Those black shelby ones are nice too if you are in fact looking for full functioning ones.

Here's a pic with mine I took yesterday. I like them a lot. No hood movement at all at high speeds!
