Front end makeover in progress, a couple of the goodies...

 

YES! Miniature Carbon Fiber Frisbees! Or are those scented candle bases?

 

Sweet... post pics when ur done..

 

Please tell me thats not locking hood pins.

 

what if it is? some people might not like what you do to your car, but it isnt what they like that matters, its what you like so don't judge!

 

Make it into a poll

 

They wont work on our cars. The way they work is they have a T post that has to line up into a cutout on the actual pins. With the downward slope of our cars it puts the T post at an angle not allowing the T post to fit into the cut out on the pins.
Ive tried them, as well as some others.

 

i think our hoods look awesome stock anyway.

 

They worked alright on maximariceboi's max, I was actually looking at it last night.

Without them though I'd be afraid of the hood flying off

 

Are you serious?? Did you put a cheap ebay CF hood on it?

 

I'm one of the others.......

If you do get them to work, come back and show pics of how you did it.

 

Same here, post the pics......

 

I'll ask Eric to take some pics of his setup, personally i think I'm going to go with some Aerocatch pin latches, after looking at the dots, and how there's that fake CF sticker thing you put around it, I just don't like it. Plus I don't like the lock, having to add another key.

Anyone have the latches and can attest to them?

Or any other better alternatives?

 

so is that just a cf hood pin look-alike sticker?

 

hmmm...mine are fine....

heres a pick with the nrg hood locks....its a carbon fiber overlay....

 

Just to clarify, what do those pins attach to on the bottom? the frame around the rad?

just curious since ive seen this alot, but not actually the inside of the hood...

 

hey any cf hood can fly off..over time....i seen an evo8 at the race track about 2 years ago. a seibon cf hood with no hood pins...hood flew up to his windshield half way down the strip.... better to be say than sorry

 

yes front frame near the rad..i ll get some more pictures later this week...that's if i have time..just been busy with work and all and some motor work too during the weekends

 

My friend has the Aerocatch latches on his 3000gt and they work great. They definitely are secure and look pretty good. The only thing is you have to cut a pretty big hole in your hood.

 

I think I'm definitely waiting a bit, I like the hood latch look better than the pin look, but we'll see. I think I'll probably go with the latches

 

getting there...
