I have old school hood pins on my FG Cervinis hood.

I bought those hoodpins and then found the exact same pins on ebay(same type of materials,steel and aluminum) for half the price and had my body shop put them in.they were easy to find under "hoodpins".I figured it would cost the same to install them so,why pay more than you have to.hope this helps.

Yes, there is zero difference between a product made by a legitimate company and cheap Chinese knockoff shit from eBay.

Just in case others did not catch the sarcasm
These have been copied for a while, I would not risk it, these are a very precise fit and I would never risk a safety item.
I have known others who forgot to clip their hood pins and suffered thousands of dollars in damage.

I bought 2 different kinds of hood pins and can't bring myself to cut a hole in my carbon fiber hood to install them. I have also seen a lot of issues with the hood cracking around the hood pin because of the stress. I need to install them so maybe this summer I will have balls enough to do it. Good luck.

considering I had both sets in my hands at the same time,they were identical.hell,they even weighed the same.I will admit that it took some time for me to get the locks just right so the hood latch and hood locks are both engaged,but that would have to be done anyway.after a couple of years or so mine still work perfectly. good luck on your quest, B.
