Today I replaced the worn-out trunk lid lifters. Got replacements from LMR.

Figured out I'm going to have to get some hood latches. My aftermarket Cobra hood isn't the highest quality, and it's getting to where it won't latch at the way. I've actually caused a crack in the new paint from slamming it. I figure with hood latches that'll solve the problem.

@white95 - which latches did you go with again?

Aerocatch, my man.

Make sure you don’t buy knock offs because they notoriously fail.

In addition to the trunk lifters, I installed a new instrument bezel from LMR. The old one was very crazed and cloudy. Night and day difference. While in there, I replaced all the bulbs with new Sylvania incandescent bulbs.

Quick Latch. They were the vendors for the hood catches on the 2020+ GT500 and their stuff is super nice. A bit on the $ side but you do get what you pay for.

To each, their own.

Quik-Latch makes a nice product and I will be using them with my new front bumper like @Frank.JD.Perez did.

I like the looks of the Aerocatch, and the price is right at around $100 for the locking units.

joemomma · Mar 10, 2023

Ordered.

@joemomma I had the same issue with the aftermarket hood on my 2v. The aerocatch work awesome and allowed me to completely remove the factory latch

Man, I am just not a fan of external hood pins/latches. But those flush things are a good compromise if you had to have them.

You can paint them and they offer below the surface mounting, as well.

Scott has some that look very blended into the hood.

Made some modifications to the Coyote engine cover. Just a bit more finer touches to go but I actually found it quite easy to adapt a Gen 1 cover (the best looking IMO) to a Gen 3 intake manifold.

joemomma · Mar 10, 2023

I'm hoping they'll sit flush with my hood. I'm also hoping I can install them without wrecking my hood lol. Cobra hoods are real hard to come by these days.

Repainting my hood scoop in my makeshift spray booth. Tried to remove some dust particles and ended up streaking it a bit. It is very subtle but I can see it.
