you're going to trust $9 hood pins? I wouldn't trust $9.00 dog food!

I've seen these on cars here. The cheap auto stores sell them.

They are cheap, and they look cheap and they probably perform cheap. I'm not saying you should only buy things expensive, but come on. Cheap stuff hardly if ever turns out to be better than average.

I think they are talking about the bottom ones, but they don't appear to lock.
