I picked mine up from AutoZone. They're actually a hood liner retainer plugs for GM/Chrysler cars. Alex found a plug at Home Depot or Lowes IIRC, looks much nicer than the plugs I bought. I believe it was 7/8"

i got together with a couple of friends and thought it would be a good idea to have a photo shoot. so i grabbed the canon ds2 and went to work.
my buddy steve has both the srt4 and sti. the srt4 has a delta 46 turbo and the sti is stock besides a full 3'' turbo back.
my buddy justin has the low jetta which was the 2.0 then motor swap to a 1.8t and then big turbo to a comparable to a gt30 and really low.

Yeah you need to spray it with UV protectant so it doesn't sun bleach. Learned that by experience.
