I wanna see some of ur drag cars that are using these hood pins and where u placed them. I have a few ideas pondering but can't make my mind up what will look the best. I have a CF hood and don't really trust the stock latch on it and def don't want it flying up on me going down the track...lol I plan on doing these 2marrow afternoon along w/finishing up mounting my Exospeed front end I've been wanting forever...haha Show me some pics guys, maybe somebody got slick w/these

 

X2!

 

not a drag car but i still run pins on my carbon hood

i mounted the pins right between the two headlight mounting bolts

 

depetro1 thanks for posting up a pic. I didn't have time to install mine 2day so gonna shoot for 2marrow. I've seen then like u did urs which is prob how I'm gonna do mine, I've seen them moved further toward the fender and run parallel w/the fender instead of angled. Just wanted to see if anybody has tried anything else and bounce back and forth some ideas

 

A little hard to see... but I did mine parallel with the fenders with the wider part up front.

 

Yeah that's the other way I've seen them "parallel " I need to decide quickly which way I won't to do it, they both look good. Anybody else mounted these diff?

 

Funny you post that.

They're backwards.

Aerocatch's are designed as a safety latch that is pushed down by air pressure if inadvertently left unlatched. The position you have them installed at will do the opposite of what they're intended to do; catch air, and unlatch.

 

I have mine installed backward, didn't really fit right the other way around because I put them pretty low on the hood. Pretty obvious if you leave one unlatched anyway.

 

 

Not a Honda but these fit the best this way on my hood:

 

Hah... I did not know that... thanks though. Too bad I can't just switch it around....
