I’m probably going to do Aerocatch ones on my CF hood…tape, measuring, and a Dremel with a lot of bits. For drill-type, just a good drill and a good bit. 🙂 ---

just make sure you put them back before driving. lol. Get the latching kind, or put cables on the pins. (yes I did this once, that was a bad tuesday) I actually ended up molding part of a stock hood into that hood so it would latch after because I was sick of the pins. ---

Exactly. You better get Aerocatch if you get pins Jay. Keep in mind I had my 944 to 175mph with a fiberglass hood on a stock latch… So I’m not one that really believes in pins. ---
