Help Me Choose!

alright guys.. as some of you know i wrecked my car about a week ago.. well i am going to do it right this time and go with hood pins on my next cf hood.. but i cant decide which set i like the most.. these are the three choices i have narrowed it down to.. i am asking your advice on what you would choose.. neglect looking at the price.. i am wanting something that wont distract you from the beauty of the hood.. just something subtle.. i may regret this.. but give me your honest opinion.. haha.. thanks in advance..

yeah choice 3 is the cleanest IMO, so if you must have them I'd say go with those. Never eBay in any case..

I think #3 is awesome but that looks like a pretty big hole in the hood to mount them. You sure can't change your mind once you have made that decision!

i'd go with the #2. #3 looks too complicated to install plus I don't know if it would fit flush with the hood.

I looked and looked for subtle pins at a good price, and never found any. I bought stainless Ford Racing pins, and like 2 days later found some black ones in a similar style. That kinda made me mad, but the Ford pins are quality. Now I cant find those black ones again. Oh well.

The overall style of number 3 is the best, but does seem the most complicated and you dont even know if they will sit nice and flush. Either number 2 or 3. Number 3 seems a bit more original if you can get them to sit flush.
