Do I need hood pins for this?

Yes. Hood pins are required for secure closure. They anchor the hood at the front corners and should be mounted to your existing hood latch points. Verify your current latch and hinge hardware before installation.

What finish does this come in?

The hood arrives as raw carbon fiber with visible twill weave. You can clear coat it as-is to preserve the weave pattern, paint it to match your body, or wrap it. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish.

How does weight compare to the factory hood?

Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces front-end weight and improves handling balance. For exact weight savings on your setup, weigh both panels directly — carbon fiber density and construction can vary slightly between pieces.
