Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for safe operation and are not included. Install them through the existing hood mounting points to secure the panel at speed.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to bolt directly to OEM latch and hinge hardware with no drilling or modification. Alignment should match factory specs once fastened.

What prep is needed before painting?

Sand the surface with standard automotive sandpaper and apply your chosen epoxy primer, then base coat and clear. Follow your paint system manufacturer's guidelines for surface prep and application.
