Aero Catch! Hood latches!

[S13Boosts]

ive been wanting to grab me a pair (2) lol has anybody ran these? i did a search ive only seen one person selling em.

reason why? they are low key looking,wind resistant, and they lock from them thieves.

i just wanna know if anybody ran em before, and if theres any other products out there just like aerocatches latches thanks!

:drool:

and this is for those people that dont know what im talking about lol

pretty much i want that low key look, plus that shit locks, i dont wanna park my car, with my hood pins, come back out i see shit missing,IE hood and motor parts LOL

[240trooper]

true dat, safty first

[statik]

I run them, they weren't very hard to install in my CF hood, trusty dremel and a little patience. I'd rather run no pins, but these are the best looking IMO and if you are running a CF/FG hood they are a must.

[boozels]

they work great
if ur willing to pay then buy them u won't be disappointed

[Brian]

I don't even have a hood latch in my FG hood.
Do you guys?

I do, but only because I'm too lazy to pull it out =]

[kdashy]

wind resistant

Haha what..

I thought they were nice but then I saw them in person they're huge and not as subtle as I expected.

[ROUGE180]

Enjuku racing sells them. I was thinking of picking up a set for myself. Gonna be hard cutting my CF hood though *yikes*..

I am pretty happy with them on my car.

[Siizzzoooo]

they're only a $100, i'm surprised more people don't have em

[Project3328]

took me 45 mins to install.. i did a write up as well in the premie section

[burnsauto]

at least they come with a REAL key..not like the other cheap ones that have the circular key with one little tooth at the end...

they actually dont look too bad installed.

[DreamN]

I like them, but I'm a bigger fan of the truly flush ones. Unfortunately I've been told that those can't or shouldn't be used with car hoods.

[OptionZero]

if u paint them body color or have them on a c/f hood they aren't THAT noticeable

I get em for around 60ish, but that's my price :P

[DreamN]

^ dude hook it up! at that price i don't mind:D

[blackcoupe]

I have a set, but I haven't installed em yet. They're not that bad looking IMO. But its a good security for thieves who would normally cut your alarm wires to silence it.

[StaticX27]

^ dude hook it up! at that price i don't mind:D

I'll see what price I can do. No tax / shipping helps much though :P

[S13Boosts]

i want a set hook it up!:keke: do they have a lock?

[KA-T_240]

I will probably get these. Just another thing I will need a key for in my car at all times. I got a buddy that bought them for his car and never used them. So if he still has them, I get mad hook up!

[kouki_s14]

I've seen them around for awhile, they look good to me.

Love mine. And the latch mechanism is definately much more secure then the average hood pin.
Recommend them for sure.

They kinda blend in with CF

[mr_240sx]

i have some on my coupe.... love them!

[StaticX27]

They can, I think the locks cost extra. there were 2 models, 1 had it, the other didn't. I think the lockable ones were like $20 more or something.

[fromxtor]

I can get the locking type for $95 shipped.

+1 to meh and everyone else who followed the damn install instructions.

The flush ones look awesome but I'll stick with the plus flush thx.

[hustlervibes]

These are what I'm getting for my new hood that should be coming up soon :)

[jackjack]

I don't even have a hood latch in my FG hood.
Do you guys?


i do. only because some asshat decided to pop my friends hood and steal his intake :tweak:

[DunG HAB SP]

i had 3 of them installed for some strange reason.. they all lasted longer then the car

[S13Boosts]

reason why i want the lock ones.....:duh:

[jackjack]

MOST hoods come with latches. its up to you. i'm using sparco pins (carbon hood, latch) with the latch lock (on the radiator support). no problemo.

[180sExy]

[DailyDrift]

They are good for a dailydriver but i would not put them on a track car, my motor cought on fire and i took too long to unlock them and get the hood open and all of my wire harness and intake tube was burnned =(

[slavetothemuzic]

I've been seeing more and more of these getting installed.

Love mine.

I've removed the hood latch since these went on.

thats what im talking about right there...:bigok:

[noname7198]

If you get the lockable ones is it possible to leave them unlocked (keeping the hood shut, but not needing the key to open them)? That way you don't need the key everytime you want to open the hood when you're at the track, or if your engine bay catches on fire like someone said.

Yes.

I've forgotten to lock them several times after working on stuff. :-/

These are under 20$
don't break every time you open them
aren't gigantic and gross looking.
and since it seems to be a selling point, are actually used on real racecars.

I'd post dzus fasteners because thats actually what real racecars use but god knows none of you guys could figure out how to set them up.
