Hey Guys,

I got a CF hood recently and noticed that it was lifting a bit on the highway. I want to get hood pins for my car installed - i'd do it myself but i dont want to F things up .... does anyone know a place in Mississauga that would do this?

 

but try Velocity or Speedstar in Markham. Short drive and I am sure they could do it.

Ps...keep it in coast mode on the way over. Your windshield thanks you in advance.

 

i took it to 245 at the track, thats when i noticed it lifting

 

all right then.

 

do you think i should worry about it otherwise? At 125 on the highway it stays put...you know?!

 

Getting a CF hood shipped at the moment, got in the Aerocatch hoodpins. But I just thought of something the other day...

I noticed something that is on the OEM hood that maybe no one thought of transferring to the CF hood. The weather stripping that is underneath the front of your hood. That might stop a lot of wind getting into that area between the CF hood and the front bumper and creating lift.

When I get my hoodpins installed, I'm gonna bring in some weather stripping and ask them to use industrial glue to put it at the font of the hood.

Any thoughts?

 

Im definatly getting some now after my hood flew up 4 days ago. Cracked my hood in half, cracked the windsheild, colapsed my oof, and fk'd up my fenders. Do yourselfs a favor and get some pins!! My quote was 4k

 

 

holy ****...yeah I need to get some pins -

 

Ha make that $5700 just got the quote. Thank god for insurance!!

 

Underwriter Mike over and out...
