Installed and such, good fitment, I'll write more later...

 

ooooooooo sexxxxxyyyyy!!!

 

looks really good. your front bumper got faaaaawked uuup

 

Nice Hood man, how much did it run yah?

 

Wow. VERY clean. Nice pics too.

Man, your car would be clean if that bumper wasn't destroyed!

 

hood latches are nice indeed

 

nice, but the latches look weird. just been so used to seeing the pins.

oh your missing 1/4 of your bumper.

 

very sweet. I've got these for my CF hood as well, just haven't installed them yet.

 

i cant decide if i like them or not.

 

They seem big, but I like the look and concept....so it would be a compromise for me.

 

Look really good. I agree, not use to seeing them but that doesnt mean they dont look good and they do flow very well with the hood.

 

they look really good,but does this mean anyone can open ur hood?Get that bumper fixed.

 

Fix the bumper and get some clear headlights & corner lights. I love blue with CF.

 

i personally do not like those latches because of two reasons, 1: they have screws in them, 2: they are not flush with the hood, but the hood looks good other than that.

 

1: The screws are aesthetic, the latch is double-sided taped on with tape from a body shop. 2: the latch itself is, the surrounding fastener isn't.

Thank you for all the positive feedback, I'm actually in the midst of a 97-99 front end swap because of an accident, and this is how I'm piecing my 95 back together :-)



And for the bumper fix...






Just working on little things before I put it all together like fog light bracket, turn signals, license plate bracket, and if it doesn't fit right I need to replace the upper bumper support bar that runs all the way across just under the grill

 

They dont replace the orignal latching assembly. You still hve to pop the hood from the inside.

 

ohh,ok.kool.

 

Good luck with everything. Looks nice.

 

it looks awesome ive got a 97 se so im def thinking of getting the hood. I like the latches btw. im painting my rims black so itll look good in contrast

 

You should think about maybe a gunmetal / polished silver on the rims, the cf hood looks dark and almost black, but in the day its noticeably gray

 

Very nice, not a big fan of the exposed screws... but it still doesn't look too bad with the hood.

 

Thank you all for all the positive feedback

 

how much did that run you?

 

nice stuff =]

 

Private deal, I got the hood from maximariceboi, if your interested in one I'd PM him for details and pricing.

You know it ;-)

 

well how much did it cost to get the latches?

 

They weren't very expensive, like $30 tops I think

 

Really? You got a good deal then. Every where Ive seen them there close to 100.00 bux

They are fake "aerocatch" hood pins then. Real one have allen wrench screws or tamper proof screws. They don't use double sided tape either they use real screws. If I put a cf hood on I would dish out the $100 bucks to know my hood isn't going to fly up and hit the windshield.

 

No need to when regular $20 hood pins would work just as well.

 

LOOKS GOOD!!!

 

Yeah that's true, the regular old hood pins work good for $20 bucks. I just don't like people who buy fake stuff. It makes the real item go up for people that would rather have a quality part.

 

O.O haha so quick to judge. They're not fake, I can assure you that. I don't remember where i got them, maybe it was more than $30. It's been awhile.

As for the tape, with the location of our front support and the contour of the maxima hood at said location, it seems rather stupid to try and drill ~8 (x2 latches) screws into it no? Unless you... like cracked carbon fiber?

Regardless, with the pin clicked through and all the hood isn't going anywhere

 

Check out there web site aerocatch.com the installation has you drill SIX holes x2 and doesn't use Phillip head screws. 12 Allen head screws , 12 washers and 12 bolts. I'm just going by whats on there website.

 

I like these hood latches more than the usual hood pins. The regular ones tend to stand out too much IMO.

 

looks good man! screw replacing my OEM hood with another, I'm going CF!
