Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required to secure this panel. Verify your existing latch and hinge hardware is in good condition before installation — carbon fiber hoods rely on proper alignment at all three contact points.

Will this hood fit my existing latch and hinge assembly?

This hood is engineered to use your OEM latch and hinge points. Before ordering, inspect your factory hardware for wear or damage. Worn latches or bent hinges will compromise panel alignment and fitment.

What finish should I apply to the carbon fiber?

Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish. A clear coat is recommended to protect the weave from UV exposure and maintain the carbon fiber's appearance over time.
