Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. The factory latch and hinge connection points are retained, but pins provide additional security, especially at higher speeds or on the track.

Will this hood work with my existing latch and hinges?

Yes. The mounting points align with factory latch and hinge locations, so no modifications to your vehicle's frame are necessary. Confirm the hood sits flush with your fenders before final installation.

How should I prepare this hood before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with appropriate sandpaper before applying your chosen finish. Follow your paint manufacturer's recommendations for primer application and topcoat system compatibility with FRP.
