Do I need hood pins with this carbon fiber hood?

Hood pins are required for safe installation and operation. The OEM latch design functions identically to your factory setup, but pins provide additional security at high speeds and during aggressive driving.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The OEM-profile design maintains factory latch and hinge mounting points, so your existing hardware integrates without modification or adaptation.

How do I prep and finish the carbon fiber before installation?

Sand the surface with fine-grit paper and clean thoroughly before applying your chosen basecoat and clear coat. The weave pattern will show through transparent finishes; paint or tint as desired for your final look.
