Thanks for your order (just in the nick of time =)
I have faxed your order to fiber images, and it is being processed. It usually
takes about a week or so to make, then they ship them.
Thanks again =)

Yeah Dave Gibson & his possy do good work. I've got one of his first batch hoods & it's great.
The newer ones are even better.
Note they do offer colors now for a bit more, so you can get a matching hood for most primary colors except white I believe.

just cause it has latches doesnt mean it wont fly off. hoodpins are always recommended for fiberglass and cf hoods.

I have been using a older fc3s.org CF hood on my n/a for a while and never had any problems witht he hood fyling up, if you use the right latch (the alum. one) you will have no problems.

I saw somethign like this the opther day. Some dude in a civic took off into a intersection, and his new vented black fiberglass hood flew off his car and broke of the mounts. Landed right in the middle of ther intersection and a truck rean it over. The guy got out of his car and startedscreaming profanities. It was so satisfying. Any of you ever seen this?

Mine came in today, and Iput them in. they look pretty. Bit of a ripoff for them though. $53.00 for a new set of s5 stereo surround vents.

the pins are anything but ricey.... If your gonna spend $500 on a custom hood for your ride, spend the extra few bucks and put in the pins. I have seen stock hoods fly up on fc's and they weigh twice as much as fiberglass or carbonfiber. My stock hood rocks when wind gets underneath it as it is. I am putting on a fiberglass hood from dztreen within the next couple weeks, you had better believe its getting pins.... ITS NOT RICE, ITS JUST SMART...

Well out of all the FC's I've seen I've never had one hood come up or even float.
I've even driven around with it slightly latched and kind of bolted on and it didn't flinch(was under 50mph though)
I would check your latch itself. It's probably bad.
I should be getting the hood this week and I doubt it will need hood pins.
I'll inspect the latch mounting on the hood to see if it is safe or not.
