On the car maybe? LOL. But for real though I have seen em on the post where the intake is. To the left and right of the intake lid. Me and the fiancee went and looked at an SLP SOM Vert A4 and they had them right there and they had cut holes in the face of that piece so they could get in there to tighten the pin that runs through the hood to the car. Then naturally drilled holes in the hood to where that pin could go through. Other than that spot, IDK where else to put them for em to look decent and still function like they should. But maybe someone else will come in and give you a better location.

I don't think hood pins look good on f bodys,unless its a all out race car,but unless you need them I would leave them off,there was a red ws6 in GMHTP that had them ,go on there web site and check it out I think it was the nov. Issue, I just think they look cheap and crappy,the red ta was one sweet ride but the pins for sure looked cheap on it
