Finally got a carbon fiber hood (2010 3dr)

Looks great.

I've always wanted a CF hood, but I think both the Yaris and FR-S OEM hoods are super light already. Plus, I don't want to use hood pins (but I would highly recommend doing so as the latch on the CF hood can break off; I've seen several cars with a messed up windshield/roof because their CF hood flew open).

For sure there's not a whole lot of weight difference as the stock is so light. Had to jump on that price tho lol. If I do pins at all it'll be the flush mount but I can't get myself to do that right now

Definitely flush mount type. Adds to the aesthetics as well imo.

Ill look into seeing if my buddies shop is a vendor. Be pretty cool if I can find them in a carbon fiber finish

Helped Garm install the aerocatch back years ago. Definitely satisfying to click the latches shut

How's the install? Looks like you'd dremel it out.

Had to fab up some aluminum brackets for the pins to be mounted since there really is no place to mount pins on our cars. Other than that, dremel away lol
