Does your hood use your stock latch as well?

I will get some pic's of it but the funny part tho the hood took it but when it hit, my rear view mirror hit me in the head. That scared me more then the hood.

Well the CF hood kicked the crap out of my windshield but there is two place on the hood that cracked the hood took it good its still useable. The fiberglass bottom has 3 cracks in it but thats all the damage to the hood. The windshield is a different story.
