Hey guys. For all of you B14's with OEM style c/f hoods, can you tell me what brand you got and how the fitment was? Also, where you oredered it if you don't mind.
aerogear makes CF hoods for our car now...my boy just got one, and it didnt fit at all though...we had to dremel it for like 2 hours to get it to fit...
if it has a latch, do you really need hoodpins?

VIS latch is pretty strong... it almost like stock.
i dont think it needs any hood pins but it still is a bit better and safer if you do get them.
The FI hood has a very strong-looking latch too. But Sean's already has spiderweb cracks around the latch, and the secondary hold down has broken completely through.
If you want to run without pins, be my guest, but I will personally laugh at you when your hood flys up on the freeway.

really? Thanks for the heads up, I might think about hood pins (god, they're so ugly tho). I jus REALLY hate to drill into the c/f and put those ugly things on.

samo ... i agree with ya bro... though it looks strong as i said.. and may/maynot need it i still say that it is better for extra safety and re assurance.
