Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to use your existing latch and hinge hardware without modification. Simply bolt it on using the factory mounting points on your vehicle.

Do I need to apply clear coat?

Clear coat is recommended to protect the carbon fiber from UV exposure and maintain the weave pattern's appearance over time. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish.

How much weight does this save compared to the factory hood?

Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing front-end mass and unsprung weight. For exact weight comparison, reference your vehicle's service manual for OEM hood specifications and confirm fitment with your setup before installation.
