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

my questions is about mounting the hood pins, where did everyone mount them

Anybody with pics please post pics, especially if you have a gen 4

Also do the type of hood pins matter, do i need expensive ones or cheap one off ebay, whats the difference between them

Edit: also where did you get your cf hoods ebay, visracing etc??

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:lol:

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?

 

[Rapeacivic]

whats the fastest youve ever driven your car with the CF hood terry? for real...?

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?

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

 

[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

 

[DrewsCam]

thanks guys, i bought sparcos, just ordered the hood

i cant wait

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...
