yea popped out and cracked in pieces

 

sorry about your hood. at least it didn't fly off and smack the cars behind you tho

btw, i like your sig

 

if accolade sells it as a hood latch then it must look, smell, feel and act like a hood latch, if it fails to do so it is a faulty product. a hood latch that breaks under any conditions, i dont care if you are on the moon, is a faulty product and accolade is 100% liable for replacing it.

 

Holy crap, that sucks!

My hood flew up on me once, and it scared the crap out of my g/f too. She was eating a donut in the car when it happened and she threw it up in the air and it landed in her hair. lol

If I were you, I would contact the hood manufacturer and inform them of what happened. It is likely that they would replace the hood for you it if it was defective.

 

Hrmm, interesting, any aftermarket hood(CF or fiberglass) should have hood pins, you cannot count on a non factory hood latch to serve as good as a purpose as your factory hood latch on your factory hood. I am sorry, but I dont even think Accolade even provides hood latches to use for their hoods(I may be wrong but as far as I know, they send hood - nothing else). Spend 10 bucks or less on pins rather than 200-300 on a new hood, god forbid something like this happens again to anyone else.

 

i hope my hood doenst pop off ... but im getting the evoVII conversion from importtrendz.. i dotn thikn that hood needs hood pins.. .or dooes it?

 

i have the same kit. yes it does need hood pins. i noticed that driving 90mph+ the hood starts to flex. i installd sparco hood pins and no worries now. any fiberglass/carbon fiber hood should have hood pins installed for saftey.

 

is the hood totally totaled? lol like is it fixable? if so u can either fix it or try n get a new one... pm me.

 

Yeah I know it looks the same as the regural evo vii kit but does the ts hood is made of better material than the regular? or same materials?
