Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. This hood is engineered for hood pin retention. Plan your pin locations based on your existing hinge setup, and verify clearance with your chosen pin style before final installation.

Will this work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood is designed around factory mounting geometry. Verify that your existing latches and hinges are in good condition — worn factory hardware can affect panel fit and operation regardless of the hood material.
