I've helped him take it off before it really doesn't take long at all.
I still vote orange. Like the first person said it doesn't match exactly but its still looks good especially from a distance.

Yeah, you think that, til the first time you have an engine fire. Really makes you appreciate 2 pins rather quickly. Not trying to **** on your parade, just really surprised sanctioning bodies (NHRA/IHRA) haven't banned them yet.

Could't tell the rivets were raw from the pictures, I thought they were plated, my mistake. I noticed one set of rivets were orange and the others were not. In my opinion they look better raw because they dont stand out.

OR spray paint the dzus's before installing them. I might even recommend powder coating. I painted mine and about the 3rd or 4th time I pulled the hood, the paint started flaking....but I didn't clear coat them...

Favorite fbody hood (camaro) ever. BUT......any reason why not a convential hood open/close arrangement?
Either way...raw. Anodized rivets will fade and look bad after some time. Raw...

I took a few alum ones apart and scuffed them, and fit them with some SOM in a spray bomb I have. They looked really good test fitting them. but when you "pop" the rivit on the gun in hits and will chip them. I just used the raw alum rivits already.
