Question Any alternatives to bonnet pins ?

I have the STi 8 replica scoop on my 02 WRX, at three figure speeds (on track days etc) the bonnet shakes quite a bit, presumably because of the extra wind resistance. Obviously the effects would be somewhat unpleasant if it flew open, considering fitting bonnet pins to secure it but they do look a bit unsightly. Has anyone got any alternative suggestions please ?

Worthwhile safety mod

Aerocatches are great but are a pita to fit. Bonnet pins rule

i have a classic shape with the same vent on, my bonnet latch failed causing my bonnet to start to rise at 60mph - i did a big poo lol
fitted pins they are fitted very tight but i still get a lot of bonnet shake at 70+ mph but i know its all secure
