Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for secure fastening. You'll source these separately based on your preferred latch style and OEM compatibility.

Will this hood work with my factory hinges and latches?

This hood uses factory mounting points, so your existing hinges and latch mechanism will align. Verify clearance and full operation before final installation to account for any fitment adjustments your specific setup may require.

What preparation is needed before painting?

Sand and prep the surface per your chosen paint system's requirements. Consult your paint supplier's guidelines for grit, primer selection, and topcoat compatibility with FRP substrates.
