cant find peep out street image on the web.. as for the aerocatch, seems like it would probably hold best, but iono something about it i dont like the way it looks and dont wanna cut a bigger hole. and a bit pricey for pins, yes i know cheap shlt is usually cheap and expensive shlt is usually better somehow, but common..90-100 bucks for dam hood pins. -_-

well if you get it, trust me you won't regret it.

Here are some pictures with them on my G.







Search around and look at other people's cars and you decide what you want, these are just my suggestions.

Naw, 06s have oil consumption problem anyway. Trust me you don't want that headache.

If you have the cash go with Aerocatch. If you don't you can just get silver hood pins for like $20.
