Question about CF Hoods...
My wife got me a Seibon VS carbon fiber hood for Christmas. Has anyone had any issues with not having hood pins? Should I get pins for safety?
Thanks. |
You should be fine, from what I heard, there isn't a huge difference in weight savings compared to OEM hood
|
No, I was more concerned with the latch not being sufficient to hold it down or not fitting 100% oem and blowing off. I do have the grimmspeed gas struts on it as well.
|
Hood pins are highly recommended. I have the Seibon DV and before I got the aerocatch fasteners, you could see how the hood started vibrating and wanted to lift above ~80MPH (on a non windy day, now imagine driving straight against strong winds..)

Maybe those hood pins would give you an extra .2mph down the straight!

Hood pins are a must. Anyone who runs without pins is a fool.
