aluminum hoods
 

did aluminum hood come factory on S4's?? i have a few of them on my parts for sale cars.. thanx worley

some did. some didn't.

i dont get it someone said the hood latch was differtent, i looked at em theyre exactly the same! thats y i didnt get the latch. U mean ur talking bout the latch that attaches to the chassis that connects with the latch on the hood right?

Internal spring is different.

You can tell if you have an alum hood and a steel hood latch. You have to drop the hood from a much higher lift to latch it if the steel hood latch is used.

so will the aluminum hood fit in using the stock steel latch?

Yeah, when I got my vert the last owner had been in an accident and the body shop put the wrong latch in.

haha thats funny well at least i dont have to pay for another latch.

ya but thre are rumors of hood rot when using the aluminum hoods in combination with steel latches and hinges. I am currently searching for a aluminum latch cause i got a pair of hinges somewhere areound here.

If you're worried about corrosion, use dielectric grease between all steel and aluminium parts.

hood rot? whY?
