Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required to secure this panel safely during operation. Choose quality stainless or titanium pins rated for your vehicle's hood weight to prevent shifting at highway speeds.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered to use your vehicle's stock latch and hinge assembly. Verify mounting hole alignment with your existing hinges before final installation—carbon fiber panels are manufactured to OEM specifications, but prepped surfaces may require light sanding to ensure flush fitment.

How do I maintain the carbon fiber finish?

Wash regularly with gentle soap and water to prevent debris buildup in the weave. The clear coat protects the carbon from UV exposure, but avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. A quality automotive wax extends the finish's lifespan and enhances the weave visibility.
