If you're running a CF hood be sure to have proper hood pins installed and use them. A WRX owner who has competed at the rallycross recently had his CF hood latch fail at 70 MPH. Other than glass in his eyes (ouch!) there weren't any injuries, but the WRX suffered some nasty body damage.

Take a look then get some good pins: CF Hood Latch Failure.

Don't gamble. Cosmetic CF hoods are mostly fiberglass and the fabricators are just bolting the latch into inserts set in resin or just tapped filler. With heat and vibration it's just a matter of time before possible failure. Besides, hood pins look cool! :bgwg:
