Hey guys well i decided on getting a carbon fiber hood, by vis

I have Sparco's, I've had them since December and I still haven't installed them because I'm afraid of ruining my CF Hood

Edit: I paid $30 for my Sparco Hood Pins

[DrewsCam]

plus thinking of painted the pins the color of the car

DO NOT skip on hood pins unless you wanna risk having it flip up on the hwy, smash your windshield, sever your head...you get the point.

That's not always true. I installed the Hood latch assembly from my stock hood onto my CF Hood and I've had no problems*knocks on Wood*

[jackfrost1031]

why do CF hoods require pins, i mean if the stock latch holds down the stock hood... why can't it hold down the cf one?

Yeah, I'm for real, and I drive on the Highway every day to get to work and I've gone close to 90 mph with no problems*knocks on wood again*

it will hold to a point, but why take that chance?

[Sportivo Concepts]

I get them from my backyard... okay its a secret local near my backyard next to a couple hood molds that went to waste

[Sportivo Concepts]

Where to mount them?... the ideal place IMO near the fron... right behind the lighting assemblies... well I would say roguhly 1/2 ft to a foot behind the headlights near the endge

This is why hood pins are strongly recommended for carbon fiber hoods...





The windshield was replaced, but the roof can't be fixed so easily...
