Can you make LS1 F-body CF hoods (Camaro in my case), with the Aerocatch locking fasteners already installed and matching hardware to connect it to the underhood securing mechanisms? Looking for the absolute easiest design for us to install locally without F'ing something up. Can you do both the Plus Flush version (which attaches above the hood) or the Flush version (which attaches under the hood)? Just researching for now, I'm not on a schedule to buy yet.

Jim - The PlusFlush will work, flush will not. Install is pretty simple, but placement accuracy is critical. I typically weld a threaded collar to the core support for the pin, but I could fab a nut plate that bolts on to eliminate the need for welding.

I still have that pin-on LS1 SS hood, and could lay up the backside and bond so it would be bolt on but you would lose a good chunk of potential weight savings.

Would either the threaded collar or the nut plate allow temporary use of the CF hood, then easy re-installation of the stock hood on non-race days?
