hi peeps im having some trouble here i just got my seibon CF hood installed and then i got my hood pins just wondering if anyone has installed these themselves and how they did it and if i should even use them i did a search and found nothin on installation but i did find thatg some people are using this hood without hood pins and having no problems this will hit some highways
thanks for your help

 

I installed a VIS CF hood OEM style and I have raced with it and I do not have the hood pins. Mine did fine at 175 mph.

 

it depends on the cf hood's thickness and ur hood supports
if it is not hard enough , hood pins r needed to make it stays at where it supposed to be

 

well i know the seibon is supposedly reinforced but i dont know what you mean about hood supports

 

I have a Seibon and NO hood pins required. Its re-enforced, and I've had the car up past 150+mph.

 

really........what about constant highspeeds such as highways i might be on highways quite a bit.
sorry for being a pain but i really dont want to ruin this new hood
thanks for the help

 

not high enough speed for u?

 

my seibon's underlayer cam undone, and now the hood flexs like crazy when I am on the highway or racing. I am scared it is going to break off.

 

but i was wondering what is the best carbo fiber hood that you guys would prefer that you do not have to get hood pins for it is just like the factory setup and the factory hood vent. thank you for any replies.

 

I have teh Seibon OEM hood at a local shop right now. Stock hood vent etc. They are my sponsors Ia m sure I can get a good deal on it if you want. PM me. or hit me on AIM.

 

I had a CF hood on my Integra I used the pins better safe than sorry plus I kinda liked the way they look. I drilled two holes than just dremeled the holes wider to allow for pis to come though. Than I closed the hood slipped the brackets over the pins and used the self tappes that came with the pin kit to fasten the pin brackets to the hood

 

I really would like to avoid using the hood pins if i can so i would like a factory operating hood latch on a carbon fiber hood so shoot some of the high quality brands out their thanks again.

 

The Seibon has the latch built into it, I think I just got a bad one.

 

what do you mean you just got a bad one you got the Seibon and it was a bad one or another and wish you would have got the Seibon, i just saw it on evomoto.com right before reading your post.
