Will this hood work with my aftermarket cold air intake?

This hood is engineered around the stock air intake tube diameter. If your intake uses a larger tube, you'll need to verify clearance or modify the hood. Before installation, mock up your intake setup and measure tube placement against the underside of the hood to confirm fit.

Do I need hood pins for this installation?

Yes, hood pins are required. This hood is designed to use them as part of the fastening system, so factor that into your build plan if you don't already have them on hand.

What finish does this carbon fiber have?

The hood comes with the carbon fiber visible and a clear coat applied. You can use it as-is or apply additional clear coat for enhanced UV protection and depth—that choice is yours based on your preferred finish and climate conditions.
