Those chrome hood pins need to be anodized black or color-matched to the hood. There's no other chrome on the vehicle.
Leave the chrome hoodpins alone............add more chrome..........door handles and gas tank lid.
Perhaps a chrome body wrap to color match the hood pins.

Sure, I guess that's another approach. Just saying anodizing the pins is one action, chrome plating additional pieces involves more actions. I prefer the simpler route, but to each his own.

"Possibly" they got a deal on the chrome hood pins. Leftovers from the '80s. Cheapest supplier gets the contract, right? 
I should have added an lol to my extreme chromed Elio recommendation. I prefer simple approaches as well, even though I like old school classy chrome on classic cars.

You guys are amazing picking up on the pins- I look and it appears the rear end is up off the ground,

Yeah, on second reading I realized you were being sarcastic. I like chrome but only on vintage '60s and earlier. I think the ton-of-chrome look jumped the shark after that.

I am guessing hood pins are cheaper than having an under the hood latch with a cable operated lever under the dash to open it? I think it would look cleaner if there were no hood pins. Just my 2 cents.
