🔒 Aerocatch 120-2100 Above Panel Flush Locking Hood Latch and Pin Kit - Black: Secure and Stylish Automotive Accessory Review

This is a pretty easy install, the hardest part is drilling the hood! Their structure is pretty solid and when they're typed in, the hood doesn't move at all. Definitely recommended for any carbon fiber hood, not only for safety but also for style. They definitely look better than other "universal" cleats.

These things look great! The design and shape fit well with the lines of the body of the mk3 supra they were mounted on and installation was fairly easy. My advice is that be sure to use 2 hole saws to get the top and bottom curves and a dremel with cutting wheel join them. . I had to cut out some hood stays to install them, but such is aftermarket life.

I can't get enough of these bars yet. Very nice, very well finished, holds the hood very securely. The car only got 130 mph since installation, but the hood didn't even flap like the factory hood and latch combo. I've noticed that the outer edges sometimes wobble beyond 100 km/h. There is no more of it.

Inexpensive, but works. Installation is a pain in A$$. Luckily there is enough fault tolerance and I was successful. I used it on the hood of a 1989 Toyota pickup truck. This was tricky and required significant modifications since the radiator mount you attach the cowl pins to is well in front of the cowl. I'm sure it's a lot easier on cars where the radiator mount is farther from the hood.
