Hey guys just put on my CF hood from VIS. Thing looks sweet as hell and fits great. Only thing is the rubber gasket that I need to put on the front of the hood, the pins are not coming out of my damn stock hood. I been trying to use needle nose plyers with no success. Acura was going to charge me $1.85 for one. I said F that I will try to get them out. Anyone else know a better way to get these out or a cheap place to buy them? thanks

$1.85??? i would have done just to save myself the pain in the *** of taking those out!

 

Those are one-way only (in), I bought a new rubber seal and it comes with the little clips.

Even if it's more than $1.85 ... I think my replacement one was less than $20.
However, the passenger side A-pillar (outside) windshield trim piece was like $73!!!

You should have paid the $1.85. You could have had it already.

 

ya looks like I will have to do that. I have a freind that works at Honda so he said he would try to get them for me for free. We will see what happens. thanks guys

 

save yourself the hassle and spend the money.

 

Buy the whole rubber thing. It comes with all the clips and will end up costing less than buying the clips individually.

 

how much for the whole rubber thing?

 

hey, does your hood fobble slightly on the freeway (over 60 mph)? I just got my VIS hood 2 weeks ago and i was wondering if your right side fobbles a lil. The left side seems very stable, just scared of the hood flippin on my ***. They say that you don't need to have hood pins...but im 2nd guessing that... Most hood pins kill the clean look IMO. Anyone else with c/f experience? Will the rubber from the stock hood help?

 

Oh yeah! How do you like your cf hood dc23714? You getting hood pins?

 

Last time I checked it was like 30-37 I believe. Not sure why I think it is a weird number 37 but that number is sticking out in my mind.

 

Or get it here for a little over 23. Not sure about shipping tho. HTH

Edit: wait a minute. If you just buy the clips it is actually cheaper from the site. interesting....
