Love the look of the hood! This is the one I plan on going with but just now starting to dig into reading up on reviews.
Is there no way to use the OEM latch and close and secure the hood? I like the look of the hood pins but just curious as to if Seibon or any other brand utilizes the OEM forms of securing it. Where did you purchase the hood pins?

I was able to take off the OEM latches and re-use them, different hood but still Seibon. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The shop that installed them is a dealer, but you can find them on Amazon. Here is their website: Aerocatch Home Page
The Seibon hood does use the OEM latches, but they do recommend that you use hood pins as well. In my mind carbon fiber is an exotic material and I have seen it do some pretty crazy stuff when applied to mountain bikes. A small defect could turn into a catastrophic failure, but to be honest I really like the look of the hood pins. Although I might go ahead and swap them out with the non-locking version.
