the only issue was the hood latch, it was just a bit short, but that was fixed by putting in some washers behind the bracket making it extend a bit more..now it locks perfectly

I have started to like the CF hoods for the tC but I would only get the OEM looking one with no vents. The only thing that is stopping me is the quality of construction right where the bracket latch is. I don't want that to be compromised and the latch give way while on the highway. I also don't want hood pins.

web he has the same exact one rabid_lemming has and he slams his hood shut its pretty high quality stuff bub no worries. and also if u look at the first pic its all metal underneath. only the top pf the hood is the CF material just like OEM but with a CF top and hood latches are just as strong

no its the real deal. just has a metal base so that u can use the hood latch and provides a more rigid structure so u wont get any warping

o ok. Too bad the little cf sticker dosent wrap all around it looks like u can see the edges. My gf had a full cf hood on her celly but it cracked alittle around the latch. But it was light as hell. So this is more of a style then performance thing. Is it cheeper then the full cf hood?
