Some of my cars have 2 black bumps near the front of the hood after i am done customizing them fully. How do they get there? Can i take them off?

I see it on my Sv murcielago, audi R8, M3 coupe..

Without the extra pins you could loose your carbon hood at higher speed. :sly:

Because it's so much lighter as the standard metal hood, it tends to vibrate more at higher speed. The following clip demonstrates the effect very good. It's not carbon, but glass or plexiglass.



Btw. if you are wondering why your exhaust got some strange blue color, it's because you've upgraded the car with the titanium racing exhaust. :sly:

They're way too small..

Also, you don't have to buy a new car to remove them.

Wrong. You can't remove the carbon hood once it's installed. :sly:

You can only switch from a carbon style hood to a painted carbon hood.
Both have the 2 pins.

I had a '99 Mercury Cougar that the hood flew up on and smashed my windshield on the highway. I got the windshield fixed but then the hood wouldn't latch so I just drilled some hood pins into the frame. Cheap fix!!:dopey:
 
Sell the car, buy a new one,don't install the carbon hood.

Can't you go to the tuning shop and select a non-carbon hood? I wouldn't know, I've never had to change the hood of a car.
