Will this hinge work with my factory hood latch?

Yes — this hinge is engineered to match OEM latch and striker geometry on G37 and Q60 models. Your factory latch will engage at the correct height and angle without adjustment.

Do I need hood pins if I'm replacing a damaged hinge?

Only if your hood was already sagging or misaligned before the hinge failure. A new hinge alone will restore normal operation. Hood pins are optional but recommended if you're running aggressive suspension or frequent track use.

Can I reuse the bolts from my old hinge?

Bolts and fasteners are not included with this hinge. Inspect your original hardware for damage before reinstalling — if threads are stripped or bolts are bent, replace them with OEM spec fasteners from your parts supplier.
