Hey guys, I'm looking into getting a carbon fiber hood. I saw this oem style one and I was wondering if anyone has ever order this one::


Versus Motorsport - The leader in affordable aftermarket bodykits.

It says it needs hood pins, but I wasn't sure if it really requires hood pins or if its one of those things that they put in all of their hood ads. Thanks!

 

anyone?

 

I have a CF hood and it held down fine without hood pins. I'm actually selling it if you're interested. It's the SS style hood but colormatched black.

 

Pics?

 

also has anyone had fitment problems with CF hoods??

 

my carbon creation hood fits awesome but did have some flaws like a little crack in the front and hazeing in the corners but i got it for a good price and fixed it perfect

 

No I haven't and no hood pins also.

 

Unless you drive on like the Autobahn or you plan on road racing it, I wouldn't worry about hood pins. I gotta get some for my SS style hood in the next few weeks, if fundage allows. Pisses me off because I hate how hood pins look, but it's a safety requirement.

Gonna see if I can get the ones that are a little more subtle.

 

sub'd

 

If your car is gonna see a track get pins.

I rock Aerocatch hood pins

 

I was looking to get that SS hood too. I want black but if its carbon fiber I'll just have it painted...

 

^^ did you install them yourselves

 

I installed mine. They come with templates for the cutout. Just need a dremel tool and steady hands

 

Where did you get those, that is EXACTLY what I had in mind for mine.

 

How much of a hole did you cut out?

 

Yeah I really have no intentions of racing, I just need a new hood; something that wont rust and I've always dug the way CF looks. In the future I may hit the track. I was just wondering if that company I put the link to in the op is a good one. I don't want to buy something and then have it turn out to be a piece of crap.

 

Just found this post. You ever get these, I didnt know about them till just now, this seems to be the best price I've found, I'd like some additional safety for my c/f hood.

just got my extreme dimensions hood today and it fits great and got a good price i pmd them on here and picked it up locally also im looking into getting those aerocatch hood pins cause i roadrace i found them here...

AeroCatch Plus Flush Black Hood Pins

price looks good and how do you like them man?

 

Nice. Yeah mine seems to fit fine and doesn't flop around, but I wouldn't road race it without them.

 

yea same with mine but i do road race lol so yea....

 

I'm hoping to this season, but I gotta get out of penny pinching mode first.

 

Haha yes its not cheap next Fontana race is 290 for the day...

 

It's $180 for the track here. I have a gift certificate to go for free, but the gas is going to hurt. Depending on how much track time we get, it's a minimum of a 2 tank day, sometimes 3.

 

Not as bad but yea gas is a bitch and what track u talking about ? We have Fontana willow springs and buttonwillow
