Locking hood pins

[snydercj7]

I know these locks are not the most secure, but they are an alternative to the style that mount in the grill slats. I plan on installing a grill insert at some point so one of those will not work. I feel it is some what of another line in the Jeeps defense.

So for any one interested, these are Aerocatch flush plus locking hood pins. They are made of a some sort of poly material with stainless mechanical parts & stationary aluminum pins. Here is the finished product after measuring, remeasuring, then measuring again, for one last measurement before cutting into the hood. Even with the Jeep being 6 years old I never get use to cutting holes into it.

These are all the pics you guys get, the battery in the digital camera lasted for a whole 3 pics right out of the charger.

Those look really clean--what did they set you back? I had in mind something home-fab and stouter, but those are much better than what I have now (nothing). They match the louver thing nicely too.

They go for around $95, as anything it depends where you get them. The tuner guys really seem to like them, I picked them up from one of those shops online out of Huntington Beach. I guess there are some knock offs of the Aerocatch & are suppose to be of lesser quality but they also dont cost as much.

I like those too! Clean looking.

where did you get the vented hood plate? I put some dents in my hood just where that bad boy would cover it up...

Here is where I purchased the hood louver.
