ive done a lot of searching on the web and the results have come out pretty much 50/50. im getting a CF hood and wasnt sure if i should install hood pins. ive heard some horror stories of some hood breaking off at high speeds and stuff. if i do get the pins, im planning on getting the slim ones that dont really use pins but rather a locking mechanism

heres the link to the latches i really like

id get them for sure with a carbon fiber hood... i have sparcos and i love them. and keep the factory lock in place also.

 

yea, check out the link above, i forgot to include that when i posted. theyre really slim and stealth and secure. just not sure whether to spend the extra $$ for the CF latches

 

yeah ive seen them. they look good and all.. but them about installing them.. That will be some big holes your cutting into your hood.

 

I like those low profile pins. It's definitely recommended for any aftermarket hood.

 

Yeah those aerocatch pins are awesome, I have them on my hood. I highly recommend.

 

hows the install on them? do i need a shop to do that?
