The shop that installed them is a dealer, but you can find them on Amazon. Here is their website: Aerocatch Home Page

The Seibon hood does use the OEM latches, but they do recommend that you use hood pins as well. In my mind carbon fiber is an exotic material and I have seen it do some pretty crazy stuff when applied to mountain bikes. A small defect could turn into a catastrophic failure, but to be honest I really like the look of the hood pins. Although I might go ahead and swap them out with the non-locking version.
