Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinges?

Yes. The panel is designed to match factory mounting points and attach to your existing latch and hinge hardware without modification. Verify your hinges and latch are in good condition before installation.

How much weight does this save compared to the factory hood?

Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight difference depends on your vehicle's original panel, but you'll notice reduced unsprung mass and improved handling response.

Do I need to do anything special to maintain the carbon fiber?

The clear coat protects the weave from UV exposure. Wash and wax it as you would paint. If the clear coat gets damaged, refinishing is recommended to prevent moisture and UV penetration into the fiber layers.
