Hood pins, where did you mount them?

I am putting hood pins on for my new fiberglass hood. If anyone has a pic of where they are mounted under the hood that would be great. It is for a Camaro.

heavy_chevy29, what kind of hood pins are those? They don't seem to stand out as much like the other ones i've seen.

Mr. Gasket makes some that are flush with the hood. They use a type of key to open and lock them down.
