#80140, "CF Hood"




          

http://www.visracing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_259_282&products_id=192

see the part where it says intended for off road use only?

is there something about carbon fiber hoods thats not good to use on the street? is it legal? whats up with that statement on their site?

thanks

It's because the latch doesn't work as well as it should. It could come flying up and hit your windshield without hood pins. Ask bucknutty about that.

pretty much anything aftermarket that you buy for your car which is performance related will supposedly be for off road use only. they put that because some states have strict laws on auto modifications and because the things arent factory type of products. just get hood pins with your cf hood and you will be fine.
