Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for secure closure. FRP hoods are lighter than OEM steel and benefit from the added safety and stability that pins provide during highway driving and off-road use.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to use factory mounting points and works with OEM latches and hinges. No modifications to your vehicle's hardware are necessary.

What prep work does the hood need before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with appropriate sandpaper before applying your chosen basecoat and topcoat. Follow your paint manufacturer's surface prep guidelines for best adhesion and finish quality.
