Believe it or not, they actually make a pretty big difference in drag compared to conventional hood pins. Although they are very popular on race cars they are probably some of the best methods for securing your hood for track or street use. The Seibon hood saves 21 lbs which is worth it to some people alone.Īerocatches are flush mounted, positive locking hood pins with optional locks which are great for street use. Although the Seibon hood is not one of their super light pre preg dry carbon hoods, it is still pretty light at 23 lbs vs the stock hood at 44 lbs. The Seibon hood has provisions for all OEM hinge hardware and latches, pretty good for an easy bolt on installation. Seibon recommends hood pins in addition to the factory latches so the Aerocatches will work perfectly filling the roles of a positive hood pin as well as a hood latch. We will NOT be using these and instead will be using Aerocatch hood latches to secure the hood down and their optional locks will help keep prying eyes from getting any ideas. The stock front hardware for the OE hood latch is shown here. Like we said, for this price point this is a nice quality hood. Glass mat is much stronger and lighter than chopper gun fiberglass. The fiberglass is mat, not chopper gun typical for hoods of this price point. This is not an ultra lightweight race oriented hood but a nice quality street hood. It is gel coat, wet layup regular carbon with a fiberglass backing using polyester resin. For the older three series, the Seibon hood is not one of their trick pre preg epoxy lay ups. The back side of the Seibon hood has a fiberglass frame for stiffness. Carbon is starting to look like a potential fix here. In other words the hood is fixable but not great. The clear coat is mostly gone and the base coat is peeling up in a patch on the driver side of the hood where rust is starting to take hold. The 15-year old paint on the hood had seen better days.
