I have a Seibon CF hood on my S, and as much as I don't want to, I need to get some hood pins for it. So, I'd like to get a set that are as "clean" as possible. I heard about some sort of counter sunk hood pin. I've searched for them on the Net, and haven't found them as of yet.

Does anyone know about these hood pins?

I think you want "flush mounted" hood latches as found on late '60's, early '70's Mustang Shelby 500s. Short of going to a Mustang aftermarket store, you may not find one. If you do, they may not be adaptable to an S2000 underhood frame.
This might be as close as you can get:

Those pins are along the lines of what I am looking for. My concern would be whether the pins would be long enough.

That would be my concern also. The typical mounting place for pins is the frame support for the radiator. On the S, the pins must protrude quite some distance in order to reach the hood surface.

Right...and those particular set of pins look pretty short. It would be nice if they offered pins for different applications, but according to that website they are "universal".

Product inquiry, moving to S2000 talk.

http://www.aerocatch.com/ has some sweet hood/panel pins. Just about as flush as you can get. They're not cheap at almost a bill a pair, but they sure look hot.

Nice find! Those are like aircraft latches.

Glad to help! I might only have .1ppd and still saving for my S2K, but that doesn't mean I can't assist my future bretheren.
