Why are hood pins required?

Hood pins secure the carbon fiber panel during high-speed driving and prevent any vibration or lift. They're a standard safety requirement for aftermarket hoods and should be installed at both front corners of the hood.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed with factory-style mounting holes that align with OEM hinge and latch points. No modification to your existing hardware is required.

Is this lighter than the OEM steel hood?

Yes. Carbon fiber construction delivers meaningful weight savings compared to factory steel, which improves front-end handling and reduces overall vehicle weight without compromising durability or structural integrity.
