Hey guys, I just got a carbon fiber hood for $200!! I want to put those aerocatch hood pins on it but i just wanted to make sure there isn't some special way to cut carbon fiber before i cut two big ass holes in the hood. Otherwise i was just going to take a dremel to it. TIA

put some masking tape over the area to be cut to prevent splintering, cut slowly and smoothly. remember to cut inside the lines and work out as needed (don't want to make a big gap that looks like ass )

good catch, or at least a dust mask and goggles, they're not fun in the eyes either.

Ok i will post some pics when I'm done and maybe some while I'm in the process of cutting the hood. It'll be a little bit though because I'm not putting the hood on until I get the latches on, I don't want to risk it even a little bit. I was also wondering if anyone else has installed any of the aerocatch latches before?

I read an install guide for the Aerocatch pins from Project Car.
If you want I could pm you the info. or post it here the extra info don't hurt.
