I dont know why you would go w/ aero catch hood pins w/ a stock oem hood? O-o; stock hood latch is fine.

I don't care what my car looks like, it's never going to get aerocatch.

I would honestly go with some Sparco hood pins or something. Those aerocatch jams are just ugly, and I have heard they lock up, and you cant get your hood up without cutting.

Besides, my S13 really isn't beat. Just needs a new passenger fender.

and i might put a lip on it eventually but it's not really gonna go back on the car until i do paint, which isn't going to happen for a couple months cause i have to wait for rear overs and front fenders to come in first. i can safely say i won't be buying the JDM optional front lip due to the stupid high price, i'd rather have the Greddy/gracer or w/e lip

Pretty sure it was Chargespeed that made a sweet ass front lip for the JDM bumper.

And aerocatch might cost alot, giving you the impression of quality, but I have heard lots of bad things, causing me to not even want to try them. You might not have any problems with them, and I sincerely hope you don't, but I won't be putting them on my car.

first time i'm hearing of problems, and if it happens it happens. I'll lookup the chargespeed one but i'm more interested in getting my quarters fixed and ready for paint right now and also my suspension aligned and set for awhile

aerocatch hood pins will look 10000x better than those shiny cotter pin looking shits that everyone runs, at least on a black car they blend in.

i agree, i saw them on a red car (painted CF hood) and pins were painted to match and it looked great. I'm thinking it won't stand out too much on my car

Aero catch pins look awesome, but you have to cut the shit out of your hood.

I like my Sparco hood pins
