Thread: aerocatch hood pins..quick question

Well im always paranoid driving at high speeds with my carbon fiber hood..so i was gonna get a set of these AEROCATCH PLUS FLUSH CARBON FIBER LOCKING HOOD PINS : eBay Motors (item 200446225300 end time May-02-10 23:58:22 PDT)

Would it be recommended to get it installed by a body shop?
Is ebay the cheapest place i can get these?

It's not that hard to cut the holes for them. Put painters tape where you are going to cut to help stop splintering, then take a dremel to it. Not sure about the cheapest, search online and see. I can get you some pics of them installed tonight if it'll help any.

there is a non locking set for sale in the cosmetic section.

Go for the locking set. The non-locking set is okay, but for added security I'd MUCH rather have a locking set. That way if someone pops the hood latch, they're still not getting the hood or any other goodies without damaging the hood itself.

I agree with you and when the time comes I am going to order a set of the locking ones. I think if someone wants to get under the hood bad enough they won't care about damaging the hood.

Not sure if you have seen this, but here's my expierence with them (installing)
