Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood uses the same factory mounting points as the OEM unit, so existing hinges and latches bolt up directly. No modification required.

How much weight does this save over the factory hood?

Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than factory steel. The exact weight reduction depends on your baseline, but the reduction in front-end mass will be noticeable in handling and acceleration metrics.

What finish should I apply to the carbon fiber?

Sand and prep the surface with appropriate grit before applying your chosen finish. A UV-protective clear coat is recommended to maintain the carbon weave appearance and protect against UV exposure long-term.
