Just installed these QL-38-LP/BK low profile satin black hood pins and they are great. Took about an hour to install, used existing holes in the radiator support for the pins. 1-3/4 hole saw on the bottom, 1-3/8 on the top. Fit is great, hood is incredibly secure now.

 

Are you still using the normal hood latch, or just the pins now?

 

Both. Pop the primary latch, push the quick latches, and open like normal.

 

why did you install them?
looks only?

 

Not totally sold on the quality of the hood and it's ability to remain stable at 80mph for extended periods of time. That's why I went with the Quik-Latch, because they're not ugly AF like the $15 chrome jobs and they positively lock and hold the hood down. I can grab it by the headlight overhang and lift the vehicle.

 

I have the same setup and love it. When the car goes in for paint I'll have the push buttons recessed into the sheet metal like the new GT500's do.
