Will this hood work with my factory hood latch and hinges?

Yes, the hood retains factory mounting points for direct bolt-on installation to your existing latch and hinge hardware. Verify alignment before final tightening to ensure proper gap consistency with your fenders.

Do I need hood pins with an FRP hood?

Hood pins are optional and depend on your driving style and local track requirements. FRP hoods are secure under normal street driving with factory latches alone, but many enthusiasts add pins for added insurance during spirited driving or extended highway use.

How should I prep this hood before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with appropriate grit progression before applying your chosen primer and topcoat. The Raw FRP finish provides a stable base for adhesion. Follow your paint supplier's surface preparation guidelines for best results.
