Anyone know how the spring type hood latches work.
This is what they look like.

I'm trying to figure out how these would install, as I might go this route, if it doesn't require you to drill holes through your CF hood.

For the CF hood of course...
It provides the same function as other hood pins. But I'm not sure how these install yet. Unlike other hood pins, it looks like these are designed so that you don't have to drill holes in your hood. It looks like these work from underneath the hood, therefore allowing you to keep the hood nice and clean on top.

called up Sparco. Turns out, that you still drill holes into the hood to mount a bracket to use these. I wish I could find a pic somewhere of these installed though.
