If its an actual CF hood, and not a metal/fiberglass frame wrapped in CF, you should use hood pins and not the original center latch. Those will require drilling to install.

they might be ugly but its also for safety.. you dont want your hood flying up on you on the freeway.. the aerocatch hood pins dont look that bad either
