Installed a set of Aerocatch hood latches on my vert today. I installed a set on a customers car a few months ago. Ever since then I've wanted a set for my car.

They are very strong and work flawlessy. The pin is below the surface so they look clean! In my opinion the best looking hood latch available.
I highly recommend them!!

can you post some pics of the under hood and rad support? I think they also come in mini latches that are round... They look very nice but I believe somewhat pricey?

Someone else did those here, I can't remember who did them.

Really nice looking though.

I think I asked you this a long time ago, but where did you source that radiator gap trim panel from?

This thing? I bought it from UPR years ago. It started out as polished stainless.
I recently got tired of all the bling and covered it with vinyl.

I'm using the Aerocatches on my 79 coupe. First car I saw them on was a Ferrari F430GT. I wanted them from that point on and was surprised to find they were not overly expensive either. Just don't fall for the cheap knockoffs on eBay.
