Do I need hood pins for this installation?

Yes. Hood pins are required for secure fitment and are sold separately. They ensure the hood stays locked during driving and prevent accidental opening at speed.

Can I paint or wrap this carbon fiber hood?

Carbon fiber can be painted or wrapped, but many owners prefer to showcase the weave under the factory clear coat. If you choose to refinish, sand and prep the surface thoroughly before applying your chosen finish.

How does the weight compare to the original hood?

Carbon fiber hoods are significantly lighter than factory steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and overall vehicle dynamics. For exact weight specs, reference your vehicle's service manual.
