carbon fiber hood/trunk pass? no pass? lois i pmed ya ealier about it thanks

[lois]

sorry Geeeelberto!

cannot have the "for offroad use only" plaque on it, must have primary and secondary latches (original), and must have the windshield washer nozzles (operational) if the original hood had 'em.

hood pins not acceptable.

Hood pins are not acceptable as primary/secondary latching mechanism...

IIRC you can use them in addition to the OE stuff.

(Like 70-72 Chevelles had them as OE option)

primary/secondary latching mechanism whats that again? just the stock latches right?

OE latches have a primary latch (normal operation, cable released in modern cars)

and a Secondary latch, just in case you somehow grab the hood release while looking for the nitrous switch (oops)

Primary latch releases, socondary is the one you have to find with your fingertips to open the hood.

If a CF trunk has provisions to retrofit OE trunk latch equipment and keyhole, then will that require recon?

Basically this is for a CF trunk by Ralliart for Lancers/Evos.
