I've always thought leather hood straps would be kinda cool on a roadster, and me best mate is a leathersmith/leatherperson/tanner/leatherrubber/leatherworshiper/animalskinsinner (whatever they are called.) He makes motorcycle seats, belts and other stuff. I've only seen them on a pit crew NA. Think there would be a market for such items? I will post some pics of what I am babbling about when I get home.

That would be kind of cool if applied to the right car. I probably wouldn't buy them though.

minis use 'em..i know exactly what you're talking about and would love to do this on my car is i think it would look really freakin cool.
Yup that is them. Those look really cheap though. I figured it would not be much of a stretch from making belts to making these. He is a hot rod/chopper guy, I bet he'd be into it. He could probably dress em up if people were into that. Here are some of his instrument straps: http://www.chancey77.com/straps.htmlOriginally Posted by NAautoxer

I imagine the single strap style that goes all the way across the hood would not work due to the contours in the hood though.

probably going to get the tan ones from Mini Mania..
edit: question is where to put them? after the flip ups? at the leading edge on the bumper?? ... Hmmm.

i found these time ago looking for other things: mirrors switches etc...
I was thinking about using these straps on my trunk, just for looks really, I would keep my lock.
