[QUOTE="ndinadis, post: 16178826, member: 194821"] I bought a trufiber fiberglass hood in the fall last year and have been trying to figure this out myself as well. I originally wanted to use aero catch but was concerned they would not sit flat as the hoods curved in both directions. I ended up putting in 70s style pins and am not a fan. I just went to the local race shop after picking the car up from storage and was going to get the aero catches, they said the surface mount ones are not recommended for fiberglass or carbon fiber hoods? He said I could use the flush mount ones and they had to be glued in from underneath? At that point I started to look at the quick latches and really liked how small they are. I purchased the 38 sized ones. What I don't get is if I keep my stock latch in place how do I open my hood? Im guessing undo the quick latches first (flexing the hood?) And then do the stock latch.
