Default Poll: What Hood Pins ? ? ?

Hey Guys

Well I'm getting a new CF hood and I'm up in the air about what hood pins to go with on this new hood. So I thought I would ask all you wonderful people . .

Here is what the car looks like currently . . .





I was leaning toward the red Sparco pins, just to accent some of the red already on the car (i.e. the brakes).

Lets see what you guys think. Any suggestions are welcome

T

I'd say Aerocatch
Is your car daily driver? Do you worry about water (including rain) getting into the vents on the hood causing some sort of damage to your car?

Just had my first rain with the TS hood, not worried at all. That's IMHO though.

DTM charges I think a 100 or so to install the aerocatch, I highly recommend you have them do it, since you have to cut into your hood, it has to be dead on. I love your car man, it's so sick! It's come a long way since the Victoria Gardens meet a few years back.

Thats who does all my body work

so it looks like its either CF aerocatch or red sparcos.

Where is the best place to find the Aerocatch pins?

Thanks for the responses so far guys
