Aerocatch latches, where does this car have it mounted????

[kidtsi]

In my opinion is the best looking laches location i had ever seen, but i cant figure where is the pin drilled, i believe its near the headlight in the support bar but not sure. Anyone know if she is on the forums so she can tell or someone else please.

Looks like where mine used to be. One was on the area where the stock hood stand/bar mounts, and the other side matched. It's really not hard to eyeball this stuff man, just get in there and do it.

Yeah i tried them there but its not exactly like that, it is like an inch too far on there.
Can you post a picture like that of your old hood? just to see it please.

If you look at it it is exactly where the headlight starts.

That is Jess' car (JessGST on here). I don't see any pictures of her car in her gallery with the engine bay open. I might have a picture of her engine bay from the local meet - I'd have to check later tonight.

Check post #39 on page two on here (http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/app...4-who-has-installed-set-aerocatch-pins-2.html) looks to be the same place JessGST had them. Shows outside and in. From TSIAWD666 actually

Clearer pics here, since it's at the same spot just oriented differently: http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=186490

Thanks for the link, i see the latches are like and inch or two far away (not were the headlight starts). The only place it could be is after the radiator brakets but i believe is something welded down there.

I wish I would have gotten these latches rather than straight hood pins...

 

[kidtsi]

I think i figured out, it is after the radiator brackets were there is a little bumped circle right before where the headlight screw is.

+1 those latches are gorgious. I dont use them on my cf hood, but i might think about it now.

Not right now, but I assure you they look just like the other white 2g above.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Those last pics of the mounts are badass..So it's almost like a hood pin setup, but instead are latches..

yeah I'm thinking its just the angle of the picture, that where i planned on putting mine, I'm just nervous about cutting my hood, I'm putting them on my stock hood, I mostly want them for the lockable feature and to get rid of my stock latch

Nah man they are where the top of the headlight starts but in the white one they are were the bottom headlight starts.


They didn't come with a template? because mine did, paper and a not to scale instructions.

 

[kidtsi]

This is were i believe the white 2g had them... right between the headlight bolt and radiator braket 2 inch down and 2 to the right from this pic.

So where did you end up mounting them inside? People that find this thread will probably like to see a pic of that as well. Looks good though.

At the side of the radiator bracket, ill have pics when i clean the car...

subbed for pics

Here is a picture of mine, just for another option for people who find this thread down the road. I think it works well with this hood, Im not sure how it would look on the OEM CF hood though with this placement.

FWIW

PM me if you want more details, I will warn you, you will do some fun cutting to make these things work, kinda scary on a brand new hood.

 

[kidtsi]

i didn't want to place them there because they look kinda goofy. IMO
