Do I need hood pins with a carbon fiber hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the lightweight panel during high-speed runs and prevent flutter. Verify mounting hole locations on your vehicle's hood frame before installation.

Will this work with my factory hood latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed as a direct replacement and uses the same latch and hinge points as the factory unit. No modification to these components is necessary.

How do I maintain the carbon fiber finish?

The clear coat protects the weave from UV damage and oxidation. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can dull the finish. Light waxing annually maintains gloss and water beading.
