Do I need hood pins for this carbon fiber hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for proper installation. They secure the hood at the front edge and are essential for safe operation at speed and during track use.

Will this hood work with my factory hinges and latch?

Yes. This hood is engineered to bolt directly to your existing hinge points and factory latch mechanism. No modifications to the hinge or latch assembly are necessary.

Should I apply clear coat to the carbon finish?

A UV-protective clear coat is recommended to preserve the weave pattern and protect against oxidation and UV damage over time. This extends the life of the finish significantly.
