Do I need hood pins for this carbon fiber hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required to secure this panel safely during driving. Carbon fiber panels benefit from positive locking points to prevent hood flutter at highway speeds.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinge assembly?

Yes. This hood is designed to mount to your existing latch and hinge. Verify that your factory hinges are in good condition and properly aligned before installation to ensure flush fitment.

Is this hood lighter than the OEM steel hood?

Yes. Real carbon fiber is significantly lighter than factory steel, reducing unsprung weight and improving handling. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen clear coat or paint to protect the finish.
