Do these vents require hood pins or latches?

These are functional vents, not replacement hoods, so hood pins are not required. If your vehicle uses hood pins for security or racing purposes, you would install them based on your existing hood setup. Verify your current hood latch configuration before installation to ensure compatibility with the three-piece vent assembly.

Will these vents fit with the factory hood hinge and latch?

Yes, these vents are designed to mount to the factory hood structure. The three-piece layout works with OEM hinge and latch points, though fitment should be test-fit before final installation to account for potential variances in individual vehicle bodies.

How do I prepare FRP for paint?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to create a clean base for primer and paint. Once sanded, clean thoroughly to remove dust, then apply primer and your chosen color coat per your paint system's instructions. FRP accepts standard automotive primers and finishes without issue.
