Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for installation. They secure the panel at the front corners and are essential for safe operation at speed. Verify pin diameter and length match your current latch system before ordering.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is designed as a direct replacement panel and mounts to your existing factory hardware. Check that your latch striker and hinge geometry are in good condition before installation, as worn factory components may affect fitment.

What finish should I apply to the carbon fiber?

Sand and prep the surface with appropriate grit before applying your chosen finish. A UV-protective clear coat is recommended to preserve the carbon weave and protect against oxidation over time.
