These are sweet latches. You can use them for so many things. I just installed a set on my CF hood. A buddy of mine has the flush/bottom mount Aerocatch pins intalled on a Ralliart big $$ hood. That took alot of time and shot nerves trying to do it without screwing anything up. They turned out beautifully.

I got mine from RallySportDirect. They were a little bit more than the above link, but I've ordered ALOT of stuff from them and they have great service.

BTW, if anyone is interested I have a set of bottom/flush mount Aerocatch latches for sale. PM me.

To the OP, nice looking install! Love the shape of your hood! I thought it was an EVO 4 or 5 or something until I realized it was a lancer.

yeah, I was nervous. I had never installed any nor watched anyone install them. It really isnt that hard tho. Just measure tons of times and these come with good instructions and templates to cut out. The hardest part really is figuring out where to mount the pins and getting them to line up right.
