Wow! Are you getting that replaced with another Seibon hood? 30mph is all you need to get those things in up in the air and smack you right in the forehead.

Man in the words of t70.. That got "Chopped and screwwed"...

Mold the corners back on and paint to match the black on your whip.

that sucks man! my cf hood was just painted to match my car but i've been so worried about my hood flying up on the highway that i bought some aerocatch hood latches, i just don't really want to install them cause i hate the look of hood pins on my street car but i think i'm gonna end up doing it..

camber do you have anything besides stock latch?
