hey all...for all of you that have done the hood latch mod to your stock hood latch for the GT-4 front end, or are planning to, here's a pic of an actual LHD GT-4 Hood Latch.
notice that its LHD and not the normal JDM RHD. this routes the cable the correct way for us, no muss no fuss. hehe
the cost is right about $100, which is expensive, BUT if your like me, (no friends with welding equip., and not the greatest fabricator..lol) its well worth it.
with my luck, i'd try to extend my latch, it would break and i'd crash...not what i have in mind!! wink.gif
anyway, on to the pic!!

the only reason that someone had their hood fly up on them is because he poped his hood on a stock latch and forgot that the hood was poped. so when he was driving, all that was holding the hood down was the catch. when that slipped off, the hood flew up.

yeah that would be me.. frown.gif here is quick pic if you guys can tell.

The good thing is that there are no scratches on it. Just the dents. So I'm hoping that my shop can pop it out. I have to take it back to get some other work done to it anyway.
