Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for installation. This hood is designed for use with a pin-and-latch system to secure the panel and prevent lift at speed. Choose pins that match your vehicle's mounting points and hood thickness.

Will this hood fit with my existing latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered to work with factory latch and hinge locations. Verify that your vehicle's hinge spacing and latch engagement points match standard OEM geometry before ordering. Custom welding or modification of mounting points may be required depending on your setup.

How should I maintain the clear coat finish?

Wash regularly with automotive soap and soft brushes to prevent dirt from scratching the clear coat. Avoid harsh abrasives or high-pressure spray directly on the surface. A quality automotive wax applied every few months will add an extra layer of UV protection and keep the weave looking fresh.
