So I ditched the NRG hood pins, sorry eric

I'm thinking of going with the aerolatch's, I've heard good things, but I was wondering if any 4th gen had used them with the curve of our hoods?

and how slow should I go with my no-pin CF hood for now? I'm almost tempted to just not drive it until I get the latches on

 

I don't think anyone has done the aerolatch's on the org... Be a pioneer and get some, then report back. Myself, and others would like to know as well.

As for speed, I wouldn't go more than 45 mph. Stay on the streets, no highway.

 

are you talking about this kind

Yes those kind, I ordered them yesterday, and will be installing them next week. I'll let you guys know how they work out.

Up in Maine right now, so very nice out here

 

I've gone really, really fast in two maximas without hood pins. I wouldn't worry that much about it.

 

Got the aerocatch pins today, quality looks good, a little hard to press the button down to make it pop up, but I suppose thats good so the latch doesn't pop up too easily while driving.

I'll install them sometime this week i hope

 

there's a how-to on how to install these floating around on the web somewhere, i believe it was done on a 240 but i dont remember exactly.
I thought the hoodpins were overkill until somehow one of them was unlatched the other day while I was driving like 60-70 and noticed the hood kinda flopping around on the side. I'm not saying the hood was about to rip right off but if i could choose whether or not to have my hood flopping up.catching wind or not, I'd say no thanks.

 

I think I'm gonna have a shop install them, they're pretty big, wouldn't feel comfortable cutting that hole in my hood
