Engineered for hoods, trunks, tailgates, and bonnets, this above-panel mounting system delivers a clean, flush appearance while providing race-proven holding strength. Unlike traditional hood pins that stick up and create aerodynamic drag, AeroCatch sits virtually flat when closed, improving airflow and giving your vehicle a motorsport-inspired aesthetic.

AeroCatch hood pins are found on the fastest race cars on the planet every weekend. Whether you're building a dedicated track car, a street-driven performance vehicle, or a show-quality build, the 120-2000 delivers the perfect blend of function, safety, and style.

Safety Notice

IMPORTANT: All lightweight, composite, or aftermarket hoods require hood pins for safety. AeroCatch products are designed as primary or secondary latching systems to prevent hood lift at high speeds. Always ensure latches are fully engaged before driving. The visible open handle serves as a critical visual indicator that the latch is not secured.
