ttocs Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 so after a lot of thought, looking and dreaming I finally decided that I am going to bite the bullet and get a VIS racing carbon fiber y2k cobra R hood. I don't want to dip into checking/savings for it so I have some stuff I will be selling to cover the cost of it, but now I officially can't wait! So the next big topic is of course some hood pins for it to keep it locked down. I don't want the old school sticking up out of my hood, I want something flush if seen at all. I have been looking at the rear-mount flush/locking aero catches and like those but wasn't sure if there was something better or cooler? Any ideas?

95riosnake Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think the Aerocatches are the nicest setup on the market, they're on my to-do list when I grow the balls to cut my hood lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttocs Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I love the look of the aerocatch back mounted flush kit but I thought I saw once there was another type hat was more of a remote system that didn't require a hole cut into the hood?

ttocs Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 How about these thingy's anyone used them to say they are worth the extra price? I don't mind cutting a hole in the hood with all the other cutting I have done now but if I can avoid cutting into CF I would like too. I also like the security of them with out the extra piece sticking out as they will keep the hood smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttocs Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 the link would not go up for some reason.

410sn95 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Interesting way to go about it. I personally would want to secure the pin to the hood with something other than the sheet metal screws, especially with when fastening them to fiberglass. In the description they are fastening to the stock 05-09 aluminum hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 that is a concern but I bet a little epoxy carefully around the edges of the mount and I don't think it would go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 has anyone cut out the spaces between the louvers on the y2k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 . It's been done Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 ah cool thanks I figured they had been done. They will be done again too! I would also like to make a grill to keep leaves or other crap out as well as a cover to keep water out. Anyone have any links to pics/builds that shows that?
