Aerocatch Flush Hood Latches

Here is the thread on the vararam intake:
C5 Intake in FD

Finally found it

I have no latch (welded holes shut/smoothed) and shaved off the hood prop as well. I'm planning on running hood shocks. Gives the car a very clean look.

When I bought them I swear they were quite a bit more than $95.

NRG makes hood dampers for the RX-7 in silver and carbon fiber:

Their web site sucks so you have to scroll down the list of products to see them. I have the CF ones and they look pretty nice. Haven't installed them yet so I can't comment on function.

Oddly, the LAST part I have left from my C6 is the NEW Vararam I never got around to installing. And I already have hood struts on my FC

I got my hood struts from Redline Tuning, but I've seen them cheaper on eBay (if you haven't already bought those yet). I hadn't seen these Aerocatch pieces until I saw them here - they look like a great solution to the "can I leave my car parked out of my sight while I [eat dinner, see a movie, work in the office]" question when you've eliminated the stock hood latch.

Car's looking real nice. I'm not at all a fan of widebody kits but that color is so nice on the car it doesn't matter to me, the car just looks great.

I have that vararam on my c5 and it is amazing. Gained about .5 at the track with it

Are the threaded rods, by any chance, aluminum.
