Are hood pins required for this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are necessary to secure this carbon fiber hood during operation. Install them at the factory latch points on both sides of the hood to ensure a secure fit at speed.

Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinge system?

Yes. This hood is engineered with factory mounting points that align with your vehicle's original latch and hinge assembly. No modifications to the hinge or latch mechanism are required.

How do I maintain the carbon fiber finish?

Wash with mild soap and water, then dry with a soft cloth. The factory clear coat protects the weave from UV damage and environmental contaminants. Avoid abrasive polishes or heavy-duty compounds that can scratch the surface.
