Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for installation and safe operation. They secure the hood at the front edge and prevent hood lift at high speeds. Install them in the existing pin receptacles on your frame.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood features factory mounting points that align directly with OEM hinge and latch hardware. No modification to your door jamb or frame is needed — simply bolt it on in place of the original hood.

How should I care for the clear coat finish?

Wash regularly with mild soap and water to remove contaminants. Avoid abrasive polishing compounds and high-pressure washers at close range. UV-protective clear coat is applied from the factory, but occasional wax application will extend its longevity and gloss.
