Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the hood safely at speed and prevent flutter on the track or highway. Install them through the factory latch points before your first drive.

Will this hood fit my OEM latch and hinges?

Yes. The hood bolts directly to your factory hinges and latch mechanism without drilling or modification. Your existing hinge and latch hardware will work as-is.

How do I maintain the carbon fiber finish?

Wash regularly with mild soap and water. The applied clear coat protects against UV damage, but avoid harsh chemicals and high-pressure washers that can degrade the finish over time. Wax periodically for added protection.
