Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to bolt directly to your existing OEM latch and hinge points with no modifications. Verify alignment after installation and adjust as needed to ensure proper closure.

Do I need hood pins with an FRP hood?

Hood pins are not required for normal street use, as the factory latch is designed to secure the hood safely. However, if you plan track use or extreme driving, hood pins provide additional security — consult your specific build setup to decide.

How do I prep this for paint?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to create adhesion, then clean thoroughly before applying your chosen primer and paint system. Follow your paint manufacturer's instructions for surface prep and application on FRP substrates.
