Hood Pins
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?

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?
