Now I have new problem lol, my brother had decided to set off my alarm on my car. Now only the pop up lights go up & down all crazy, my hazard lights, lights from the headlights, or horn go off. I've tried the basics on how to turn off the alarm system and it didn't work. So now I'm trying to figure out if there's a fuse/relay I can disconnect to disable the alarm does anybody know? I'm Also back to square one with the same issued I had awhile back (my whole dash won't light up, or tail lights light up.)

Man I've never heard of our hood latches breaking. Freaky.

I forgot to get back to you on facebook about the hood pins the other night. It depends on which ones you want. If you want a clean, smooth look, go with Aerocatch. If you don't care and want something cheaper and easier to install, I picked up some J's Racing latches from Carol before she sold her FD but you can get Sparco or any number of other brands. Just do some searching first, there are plenty of options out there.

yea the whole mount came out, I looked underneath it and it looks like Mazda put some kind of glue they used, kinda looks like JB Weld but flaky. Weird.... My dad got mad at me at first because he thought I didnt close my hood all the way, but seriously I was arguing with him that it wasnt really my fault! lol

The hood latch bolts to the core support in the front. Was yours only held down with JB Weld?
