I have a Cf hood and the hoop that engages the stock hood latch was more than sketchy. At speed the hood fluttered and it never really felt secure. I saw these and picked some up. A itchy PITA to install and line up right, but they made the hood rock solid and the latch mechanism is just about the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Slighty less cheeesy on the street than reg. latches/pins and they have a locks.

A silly little thing, but they have made me ridiculously happy Though I'd share.

Here are some pics..

 

Where did you get them and how much?

 

nice

 

looks good, so i assume you have to cut a big a$$ hole into the cf hood so that they sit flush?

 

Those are sweet. When I get a carbon fibre hood (after 30% of the paint has gone from my stocker)... I'm going to try this.

wonder if they might cause the hood to crack??

 

Intense motorsports.... 80$. Saw them advertised in the vendor FS. "Evo exterior" forum a while back.

Never ordered from them before but their service was excellent and they shipped promptly.

 

I think that would depend on the install, chosen location and quality of the hood.

 

Looks good to me. I'm sure you have to be careful drilling thru the cf hood..... Finished results look good tho!

 

F*K yeah, and a bigger ones on teh underside to install the nutZ.

 

What brand hood is that?

 

Looks like Top Secret? Looks very clean imo!! Very nice lookin evo

 

Actually, TOP SECRET uses the Aerocatch pieces but brands them as their own. Aerocatch is a UK company. Looks great!

 

My friends girlfriend has these on her 2g DSM w/ CF hood.....so sick and so clean

 

clean and how much?
