Do I need hood pins for this carbon fiber hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for secure mounting. Verify your vehicle's OEM hood latch and hinge condition before installation — pins provide additional safety and stability, especially at high speeds.

Will the Hellcat-style venting and contours fit my existing hood latches?

The venting and sculpted lines are designed for the hood profile. Check that your vehicle's OEM latch mechanism aligns with the new panel's mounting points before final installation. If fitment feels tight around the hinges, minor adjustment of hinge hardware may be required.

How do I care for the carbon fiber finish?

The clear coat protects the weave from UV and minor abrasion. Wash with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals and high-pressure washers near panel edges. The carbon fiber itself requires no special maintenance — the clear coat does the protection work.
