Before you put the silicone on the drilled holes. I would get thin cyanoacrylate super glue put it around the exposed carbon fiber to seal it up. It actually has a chemical bond with carbon. Then hit it with silicone sealer. Just a little insiders tip on carbon fiber, after you have drilled and exposed it. It helps seal it up, so it doesn’t delaminate.

These look great and good call on wearing a mask while drilling the CF!

Great install. What type of drill is best for CF? I need to enlarge a 52mm to a 60mm hole and I’m unsure which drill type works best for the thin carbon gauge holder.

@jmccarsnmore1025 Жыл бұрын

That’s an actual good detail to the CF Hood. Now, what would be the issue if those pins aren’t installed?? Is the stock latch not good enough for the CF hood??

@ThicWhips Жыл бұрын

The hood is so light, that at a high rate of speed it can become unlatched as air travels underneath the hood. Am I going to drive 200mph? No. Do I want to risk losing a windshield and carbon hood all at once? Also no.. so this is just for reassurance

@omitence Жыл бұрын

i just had a friend use these, definitely makes hood pins actually appealing. not a fan of those gigantic plastic ones haha

Does this hood pins hold good when going over 100 mph?

@richwhite2302 Жыл бұрын

Scariest process ever. I went with the same exact latching system. Works great and no issues at all.

can the latch be painted with the hood or will it be matte black against a gloss black hood? would be cool if you can paint match it too.

Definitely

@FontMasterFlex Ай бұрын

whats the point of having the latches AND the factory latch? isn't the whole point of hood latches to eliminate the factory hood latch?

@MaalyJay Жыл бұрын

Great install. Only thing I would say is to use lock washers or lock nuts to keep the nuts from back out of the pins due to vibration.

I ended up throwing a dab of loctite on there, seems to be doing the trick 👍

After the install, what is the "RTV" that you put around the drilled/cut area on the underside of the hood? You said "....to create a gasket". Is it some kind of glue or liquid sealant to protect the exposed carbon fibres?

@ThicWhips Жыл бұрын

RTV is an abbreviation of "Room Temperature Vulcanizing (hardening)." Commonly used in the US as a name for liquid gasket maker. It's usually some form of silicone.

Why so many people suggest the pins for the carbon fiber hood? Thinking to get one and I'd like to know more about it

@AwakeDude911 6 ай бұрын

fiberglass and carbon fiber can and usually at some point will break the factory bolt holes out and the hood will fly up ay high way speed and break and smash a bunch of stuff . people install things like this so your not surprised at a hood flying up doing 80mph.

Why didn't you just use rtv instead of the foam on the release buttons?

@chriskamen2152 8 ай бұрын

Why, for the love of god, does nobody make a kit for the OEM latch to go through the hood so it can be painted over flush with the hood adn require NO HOOD PINS.
