Why are hood pins required?

Hood pins secure the panel to prevent lift at highway speeds and provide additional safety during aggressive driving. They are essential for any aftermarket hood and should be installed at both front mounting points.

Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to bolt directly to your factory hinge and latch locations. No modifications to the frame or hardware mounting points are needed.

What should I use to prep the hood before painting?

Sand the primer surface with appropriate grit to promote paint adhesion, then clean thoroughly to remove dust and oils. Follow your chosen paint manufacturer's prep instructions for best results.
