Anyone? Trying to decide on these or sparcos. I like the way these will look on my TS, but most important is function!

they look like rebadged Mr Gasket locking Hood Pins.

do a product search for "hood pins" on SummitRacing.com


I would recommend Sparco pins ftw (or if ur fancy pants, the Aerocatch pins)

I'm not big on how the sparco's are going to stick out though. I may just order a set to see what they look like when they get here! Only a couple bucks anyway. If they suk, sparcos it is. The aerocatch are nice, but I'm not trying to cut that design out of my hood. I would have to pay somone.

I think it would be a harder install though because of the shape.

would you rather a hood pin thats proven to work over and over in motorsports or one you have to worry about?

There are two options on the Aerocatch...top mount or bottom. Top is quite easy, bottom requires your cutout to be exact

We used the Aerocatch hood pins on our drift cars and LOVE them! The install is super easy since it includes the cutout template.
