Do I need hood pins for this FRP hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. FRP hoods require positive locking at the front to secure them during driving. Install quality pins that match your vehicle's hood latch holes.

Will this hood work with my OEM latches and hinges?

This hood is designed to bolt to your factory hinge points. Before final installation, verify that your OEM latches align properly with the panel's catch points. Minor adjustment of latch position may be needed for a smooth close.

How should I prepare the FRP surface before painting?

Sand and prep the entire surface following your chosen primer and paint manufacturer's recommendations. The Raw FRP finish gives you a clean base to work from—your prep work determines the final result.
