Hi everyone,
I have my car for a few months now. I love it. Not practical for DD but an awesome car. Anyway, last week I start using two gun locks (the one with cable) for the hood locks. I think they're better than nothing. Over the years, I bought a few handguns so I have a few locks laying around. Does anyone else use anything for hood lock? Anyone interested to see some pictures? I don't know how to post pictures on here. But if someone PM me with his email address, I'll send him the pictures so everyone could see. Thank you.

 

I dont have them, but here ya go

Thanks, those are nice.

 

aerocatch is the manufacturer that TOP secret uses. I bought TS ones for uber $$ and on the side it says aerocatch.






***use the FS forums not M&P***

 

I used to have a lock on my CRX. It was an ignition cut-off and hood lock, cable actuated from the driver's seat.

After a few years I stopped using it all the time.

Eventually the car was stolen (and recovered) -- this was after I had completely stopped bothering to use the lock. So I have no idea whether the lock would have helped prevent the theft.

I guess the point here is that, as with any lock, you are balancing out the PITA factor for a thief versus the PITA factor for yourself.

 

IMO hood locks arent necessary. 90% of the time theyre just after your seats, although if they have time they will just take the whole car, and either way theyll still find a way to get your engine.

 

had a hood pin when with the old CF hood, obvious not for security reason but safety

 

good information! i always knew TS had these, but once i saw these and the low price, i figured that they were just another china/taiwan made replica set (obviously i am not familiar w/ the manufacturer). I'll have to pick up a set!

 

I was going to get the "Aerocatch" for my ASM FRP hood but I'm not sure if it is going to work, Anyone have those with a aftermarket hood???

 

^^why wouldn't it work? it is pretty much made for aftermarket hoods. They are just flush mount or lockable hood pins....just need to make a larger hole in your hood to get these to fit!
