Do I need to install hood pins?

Yes. This hood is designed to work with hood pins for secure fastening. Plan your pin placement based on the hood's latch attachment points and your vehicle's factory hinge configuration.

Will this hood align with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood is engineered to fit your vehicle's existing hinge and latch assembly. Before ordering, verify that your factory hood release mechanism and hinges are in good working order, as any play in the original hardware may require shimming or adjustment during install.

What finish should I apply to the carbon fiber?

Sand the surface and apply your chosen clear coat or paint system to protect the weave and ensure durability against UV exposure and moisture. A quality UV-protective clear coat is recommended to preserve the carbon fiber appearance long-term.
