Aesthetically speaking they're ugly as fuck.
Mechanically speaking, looks like there's plenty of room for the nut to back off until it hits the safety pin. That looks to me like it would be plenty of room to allow for hood flutter - which I assume these things are supposed to eliminate.
For $117 bucks this adds up do plenty of nope for me.

They look terrible. I have the Drake off road ones on mine and have had them about three years now. No issues what so ever with em and if need be they have a lifetime warranty

I also have bad hood flutter. Will these Drakes solve that as well?

Daystar makes some replacement poly pieces that work. If your interested in a hood lock, something like the tuffy hood lock stops the flutter. I have used both.
I also think the rugged ridge ones stop the flutter and look good.
You can also simply remove the spring and it is supposed to stop the flutter.

They do stop the flutter. Only the center sheet metal of the hood fluters now from the wind getting into the engine bay. The entire hood itself doesn't flutter

Daystar sweet and cheap. Works awesome. FYI, when you buy on Amazon look at products that say used and from the Amazon fulfillment center with notes like package damaged and not product. You get a little more off. I have purchased several products like that and saved some $$$!

I installed the Tuffy hood lock for security reasons and as a bonus it stopped hood flutter completely.
