Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The hood mounts using your existing hinge and latch points—no fabrication needed. Check that your hinges and latch are in good condition before installation; worn hardware may need service before the new hood sits flush.

How much lighter is carbon fiber compared to the factory hood?

Carbon fiber hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel. The weight reduction improves your weight distribution and handling balance, and every bit counts if you're tuning your suspension or focusing on corner speed.

What prep work is required before installation?

Sand and prep the hood surface before installation to ensure a clean fit. Verify your latch and hinges operate smoothly and align properly. Once mounted, protect the clear coat from harsh chemicals and UV exposure with regular washing and wax maintenance.
