Hey anybody ever seen these hood latches before ?
I found them on ebay....and they are really cheap....but actually look like they could be good.

I want to get the Aerocatch locking latches but they are like $ 175.00 for the locking CF flush mount ones.

Anyone have some other vendor that is worth looking at ?
You could make those. Just get the aerocatch.

its a lock with a circular piece of carbon fiber. I wouldnt trust its durability or integrity. Especially when if that fails your hood is breaking off into your windshield Its not worth the risk to buy possibly inferior products on something that can greatly effect your personal safety.

somewhere in the 400s. Evos a bit different, but you can get the gist of it.

There is a downspout in the wall in my office and there is just enough water on the roof of the building so that it drips all the way to the bottom of the downspout, just like a dripping faucet. It's really, really annoying and it's driving me crazy.

I work in a manufacturing facility in Denton. I wish I could put something in there, but I don't want to block it from draining. If it was small enough to stop the noise, it would just get washed out when it rains later. I have my ear buds in, iTunes on and turned up loud. So it's almost drowning out the sound. When it rains really hard, it vibrates in my wall, almost like a small waterfall. It's crazy.

no, but just down the road from it. I have an office that I share with another engineering company inside a building that manufactures airplane interiors.
