Do I need hood pins with this FRP hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for secure fitment. FRP hoods benefit from dual-pin support to prevent flex at highway speeds and ensure proper latch engagement. Install pins at the factory-drilled locations on both sides of the hood.

Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinges?

Absolutely. This hood is engineered to bolt directly to your factory latch and hinge points. No modifications or adapter plates needed — alignment follows the original mounting geometry.

How do I prep this hood for paint?

Sand the primer surface with appropriate grit to promote paint adhesion, then clean thoroughly to remove dust and contaminants. Apply your chosen basecoat and clear according to the paint manufacturer's instructions. Primer ensures maximum bond strength for your finish.
