using the locking ones on my fiberglas hood, i found out that they dont work very well.i dont know if you would have problems with a 98+ because the hood may not curve as much but i know i couldnt get the lock to lock all the way. i used regular hood pins on mine, works very well, i only used to and i dont have any problems, except when i forget to put the hoodpins in and the hood comes flying up in my face while driving.
