I do have a question. can you get it with OEM latches and what not or do you HAVE to use hood pins? I kind like the look of pins but would prefer without.
Actually with all CF hoods it is best to use hood pins since the structural integrity isn't the same as it is with a metal hood.
I always reccomend hood pins no matter what with a CF or Fiberglass hood. They come with a latch point that matches stock but with the wind pushing up the sides the mount point tends to split out of the hood causing it to fly up.
Many will say they haven't had this problem but i have seen it enough to never have one without pins in it or some kind of latch system on the sides of the hood along with the center latch.
