Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. The carbon fiber construction is lightweight, so pins prevent the hood from lifting at speed. Install them at the factory mounting points on your existing hinges and latch hardware.

Will this work with my OEM hood latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to bolt directly to your factory latch and hinge assembly with no modifications. The panel mounting holes align with OEM locations for a direct swap.

What finish does it come in?

The hood arrives in raw carbon fiber with hand-laid weave visible. Before installation, sand the surface and apply your choice of clear coat or paint to protect the fiber and achieve your desired look. A UV-protective clear coat is recommended to prevent fade and maintain the weave appearance long-term.
