They will NOT work. Trust me, Myself and others (Nealoc187) have purchased them to only find out they will not work.
They are meant for a hood that is completly flat. The underside of the lock has a T shaped pin that fits into a cutout on the post mounted in the radiator support. They have to line up perfeclty in order for the "T" to fit into the cut out.
But if you wish to try it, you may make it work with some modifications..

I got mine from the same place. My hoodpins are not the standard pins, their actually sliding pins. I had to modify them a bit but yeah, I like them.

suli80,
I bought the MR. Gasket brand. I havent seen any other brands, and unless the post are bent to fit the curve of your hood i dont see how they will match up with the locks.
