Havnt posted shots of my car in a while. I got a little worried about my seibon hood latch breaking and the hood mashing my car up with all the stories ive been hearing lately so I got some aerocatch hood pins from Deft Racing. I have wanted pins for a while because of this (not because they look good because I hate hood pins) and these to the job while not looking too bad. I had to install them in the direction they dont recomend for w/e reason to make them work w/o ton of custom bracketry. I think they turned out pretty good. Opinions? Heres some pics of the install.

 

its tuff man... looks nice unlike the other hood pins you see on ricy hondas alot..

 

looks good
it blends in with the cf


is there only one hatch?
or both sides

 

Yeah, Thats why it took me a couple years to find ones I could live with.

Both sides. they match up on either side of the hood. I kinda slacked on pics because it was dark and very late when I finished but this gives a good idea. Ill get full day shots soon I hope.

 

do you have the site where you got the pins from




i might pick up a pair

hmmm is there link to those hood pins need to get some for my cf hood too

link posted up above

other things to mention. They are very flat. I was worried that since I had to mount them on a curved part of the hood that there would be gaps. But either they flexed the CF or the latches themselves flexed but it sits perfectly flush. Im very happy with them. I have guys I know ordering them now too to replace there old ugly pins. These things are pretty nice. Only downside is the huge hole you have to cut. Theres really no going back with these things.

 

yeaa and i was wondering
you would have to undo the lathces then go and open the hood like normal for it to open correct?

 

looks great! i should get some so i can remove some extra on the hood where the sparco ones i have cracked the hood (my mistake drilling).

 

That looks nice. Good job

 

Yeah, thats correct. Pop pins, then pop hood... I left latch on but they sell them with locks built in with a key so you could actually remove the latch completely and just use the pins to hold the hood and still be able to lock it. I just liked the cleaner look of the pins w/o the key hole so I got these and left the latch.

 

Gotta get a new sticker now

 

Yeah I know. Allready have an extra. I just need to move it down a lil bit. The "P" will drag onto the headlight. its gonna look good.
