Talk to a DEI dealer and ask them to special order it as it's not usually something anyone carries. I forget, but it may be on DEI's website too, from there get the part# and take it to anyone who carries DEI products and get it ordered. There are also a few places online that have them, don't remember specifics though.

All of the hood locks I've seen are crap. I had a crimestopper one on my car for a while - it never really worked right though. It was a solenoid activiated one, which I hooked up to the aux output of the alarm. It was cool, but it never really actuated properly. The only real hood lock is a chain type device that will physically wrap around something on the hood and prevent people from opening it (sort of like a bicycle lock)....

I want hood pins too

Ones that could hook up to my car alarm would be great

Anything to slow would-be car thieves

wouldn't that look like **** though? a chain across your hood? i'd do it if it works, just would look really funny!

Those are nice. I was referring to this:

http://www.crimestopper.com/reference/cs215.html

It is a solenoid device, actuated by the car alarm aux output. It won't allow the hood to open unless its energized.....

i don't get it fom that pic, does the selenoid device actually stick through the hood, and lock it? so when its tampered with, the alarm goes off? or is it just a sensor that detects whether ur hood is being messed with?
