Hood Pin Recommendation.!!! (1st post picture) - Page 2

Ching, go to Streetlightz, they can get it for you...

Also, the Aerotech ones are good, but yes, you have to make quite large holes for them. IIRC, NRG makes a standard style hoodpin, but with a CF print on it that would match.

Bought myself the Aerocatch Plus Flush black..

costing me $86

but in the end, i chose not to get it installed. i'll choose to go with the hood pin.

lol.. no wonder you said to think about it be4 i buy because of the size.. @@

So yea, i'll put it in the BM later for sale, to see how much i can get back..

It's not like the world is going to end, or the internet is going to explode, or they stop painting things in black. I learn to be patient with all of my parts and end up getting good used deals.

mclovintsx · 10-22-2009, 07:55 PM

yup, just be patient. Unless it's a super good deal THEN RUSH.

Just like what happened in the beginning. I bought rims and wanted to lower it right away. I went ahead wanting to get Tein Coilover, but they didn't have it in stock. I went for a Tein S Spring. Then two days later, i installed the coilover.
8-|

It's just that, when i want something, i really want it. lol. No matter where it is, how much it cost (well, of course not something like paying $200 instead of a $100 item)

If I ever got a carbon hood, I wouldn't run hood pins on it. Except Ben and maybe DATA, nobody's TSX is fast enough to even have to worry about it. Plenty of guys have run carbon hoods for years without issue on here. CCColts, Ben (don't think he's ever run pins), can't think of any others at the moment but you get the point.

I'd rather not spend $600 on a hood and then start putting holes in it.

icemiko · 10-23-2009, 05:02 PM

To save you the trouble just don't use hood pins, haha.

I've got a blower... but no cf hood. Still, at 5psi, and the car seeing no track time... I wouldn't bother with pins if I DID run a cf hood. But to each their own. Your car will look great with the hood on, your Panda theme is well done. I just think you need some gold wheels, to take up the mantle where Fuji dropped the ball... haha.
