Aerocatch hood pins?

[09sscalicobalt]

anybody have them or used them before? and tips or tricks on installing them and should i get keyed or not keyed? i just got oem cf hood today and plan on doing more road racing/time attack this year so thats why im getting them not to be cool or be a ricer lol

[Omiotek]

Take your time cutting the hood. They are the best pins out

[09sscalicobalt]

haha i dont have a dremel but either way i probably wont do it myself cause im scared lol i found them on here

i want black non locking cause the cf ones are fake cf so it would look weird

[Omiotek]

If your retainring your latch you don't need locking ones. You need a dremel or do not install them youself

[09sscalicobalt]

Yea I'm keeping the latch and Haha yea I know I got some other ♠♠♠♠ I gotta install so might get all done at once

Makesure its the hoods over 70 degrees ...less likely to crack it

[09sscalicobalt]

Only found 1 thread on CSS with somebody that has em.

Just got these installed today and the shop ended up taking 5-6 hours getting these on with the way my RK Sport hood is set up didnt make it easy, charged me $200.00. A little pricey but it took alot of work. I was there watching them install them and I know I would have messed it up if I tried to install them. I have to say if you need hoodpins these are the nicest ones you can get for your money. They sit very nice on the hood and close the sidegap my hood has. These can be found on the internet for about $95.00 shipped. Here are the pics.

son Devon knocks off the install for 125.00 drive in drive out....

it takes care patience and skill to do it right...first time is very difficult....


tip: use the rubber bump stops as the hole for the pin

[qwikredline]

Good one yellow eye; you see using the bump stop hole saves drilling more holes; once the aerolatch is installed the way that css guy did, the bump stops are just like tits on a bull...and one hole into the hood for the pin, saves making the underneath of the hood look like swiss cheese.
