    Guys this weekend I installed some very cool hood latches in my carbon fiber cowl hood which allowed me to eliminate the center latch. I really like it. It was very scary drilling and cutting holes in this carbon fiber hood but turned out awesome. Just thought I would share.

    I was thinking of using similar hood pins. Who make the ones you used?

    These are from Summitt Racing. It is the AeroCatch 120 Series. These actually have key locks on them. I didn't need them to be locking but just didn't want to send them back. The set that doesn't lock is 20 bucks cheaper
