I hate the look of hood pins, but I would feel more comfortable driving on the highway if the corners of my cf hood wern't flopping up and down.

I like these pins a lot, anybody know anything about them?

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

Top Secret sells them for like 160-180 bucks, I got them for 60 euro's, and in the US everything is a lot cheaper... so find another dealer ;)
Edit; deftracing has them for 85-95 bucks... for exactly the same thing!!

Top Secret sells them as their own, but it's actually an English company called Aerocatch who makes them... http://www.aerocatch.com/automotive-home.html

I love these things, the housing is made from a strong plastic, with metal parts locking the hood to the car.

AEROCATCH: a lightweight, high strength, glass-reinforced thermoplastic housing containing a hinged, spring-loaded stainless steel pin.
