Aerocatch Hood Pin Latches

Has anyone installed them on a fox? I am curious what they look like. I really like the design and how they look but I have never seen them on fox, so if you guys could help that would be great!

I'd like to know as well. They look a hell of a lot better than the crappy Mr. Gasket (Rust Master) pins I've got now.

they seem popular with the import crowd, I have yet to find a picture on an american car.

maybe I'll just take the plunge and do a thread on them if no one knows

anyone?

wow, I really like those a lot. They would look lot better than the FRPP pins and lanyards I have right now (which are also turning a nice shade of rusty orange as well). Our hoods aren't very curved either, so they would probably mount up nice and flush. I might buy me a set of these.

IMHO.... those look out of place on a Fox 5.0. Like Altezza Tail lights

The regular hood pins I think give it a more muscle car look to them but to each there own.

Thats exactly what I am thinking. The only thing I don't like about them is how big of a hole you have to cut out of your hood. Let me know if you purchase them.

Thats you opinion, but I think if done right they can look very good. I wouldn't consider them rice or even in the same category as altezza tail lights. I am just weighing about my options because I've seen to many hood pins rust within a couple of weeks.

I found 2 pictures of them installed on a t-bird. I really like them. Even though the cowl on the t-bird looks kinda wierd

My only concern is how they hold up to UV rays. I don't want the plastic turning white becasue of sun damage.

i think they'd look amazing if you got em without the locks and didnt angle them like that T-bird guy....

+1 for not angling them. but I want the locks just for added security.
