Do I need hood pins for this carbon fiber hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for proper fitment and latch security. Verify your vehicle's existing latch and hinge points are clean and aligned before installation.

Will this carbon fiber hood crack or delaminate over time?

Real carbon fiber with proper clear coat protection resists UV damage and thermal stress. Maintain the finish by washing with mild soap and keeping the surface free of road debris. Avoid pressure washers aimed directly at seams.

Does the SRT2 profile fit my existing hood latch without modification?

The SRT2 venting and sculpted lines are designed to work with factory latch and hinge points. Before ordering, confirm your hood's latch mechanism and hinge alignment are in good condition. Bent factory hinges may require straightening or replacement for proper panel closure.
