Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes. This hood requires hood pins for secure installation. Verify your vehicle's existing latch and hinge hardware before ordering, as pin placement and hood clearance depend on your current setup.

How does the weight compare to the factory hood?

Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than OEM steel. This reduces front-end weight, improving weight distribution and handling response.

What finish should I apply?

Carbon fiber benefits from a clear coat to protect the weave from UV damage and maintain clarity. Sand the surface thoroughly before applying your chosen paint or clear coat system.
