anyone using hood pins?

I think the problem with functional hood pins lies with the mounting location. To mount the hood pin to the radiator support brace would put the pin back from the front of the hood nearly a foot. That would look rediculous.

Not to mention it would be an uncomfortable explaination how you popped your hood for someone without pulling the pins.
