Do I need hood pins for this FRP hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. FRP panels are lighter than OEM steel, and pins prevent hood lift at highway speeds. Install them at the factory-drilled locations on both sides of the hood.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood uses factory mounting points and is designed to work with your existing latch and hinge assembly. No modifications to the frame are needed.

What prep is needed before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with appropriate grit progression before applying your chosen primer and paint system. Follow your paint manufacturer's surface prep guidelines for best adhesion and finish quality.
