Do I need hood pins with this carbon fiber hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for installation. They secure the panel during operation and are essential for proper fitment and safety. Source pins separately and install per your chosen pin manufacturer's guidance.

What finish should I apply to the carbon fiber?

The panel arrives unfinished. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish. A UV-protective clear coat is recommended to preserve the carbon weave appearance and prevent UV degradation over time.

Will this fit my current hood latch and hinges?

OEM-look design means the hood lines and mounting points are engineered to match factory specifications. Before installation, verify that your existing latch and hinges align with the new panel's apertures—this ensures smooth operation and proper closure without binding or gaps.
