Spectre, Mr. Gasket, or Trans Dapt locking hood pins?
I found three brands, all basically the same thing, between $18-$25 and I was wondering if anyone has experience with any of these brands for hood pins. Here's a link to the three from summit racing.

Well I know a guy who's sons new $500 hood came off from the new Spectre hood pins breaking where the lock pins go through. Wouldent suggest them of course mr gasket pins are probably the same quality. If your replacing the hood with a model with no locking/latching features get the thickest pins made of the highest grade steel avalible.

Mr Gasket and Spectre for sure dont have the greatest reputation for being "Quality" products, I dont know much about Trans Dapt, but i dont immagine theres too much difference between all of them....
