Will this hood work with my stock latches and hinges?

This hood is designed with factory mounting points and maintains OEM latch and hinge compatibility, so your existing hardware integrates without modification.

What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with standard automotive prep before applying your chosen base coat and clear. Follow your paint supplier's surface prep guidelines for best adhesion and finish quality.
