Why are hood pins required for this panel?

Carbon fiber hoods need positive fastening to handle wind loads safely during highway driving. Hood pins lock the panel down securely and prevent lift—verify your pin height matches the hood's hinge clearance before installation.

What finish should I apply to the carbon weave?

The panel arrives unfinished to let you match your vehicle's existing color scheme. UV-protective clear coat is highly recommended to preserve the carbon weave and prevent oxidation over time.

How does latch and hinge compatibility work with this hood?

The hood uses your vehicle's existing latch and hinge assembly—no modification to those components is needed. Verify alignment once mounted to ensure the Demon Look profile sits evenly relative to your fenders and grille.
