Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Hood pins are required. The cowl design and lighter FRP material benefit from pin support during acceleration and cornering. Install a quality pin kit at the front edge for safety and peace of mind.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood uses the same latch and hinge mounting points as the original, so no drilling or modification to your frame is necessary. Your existing hardware bolts straight on.

How much clearance does the 2-inch cowl actually give me?

The 2-inch rise adds extra space for tall intake manifolds, carburetors, and custom engine dress-up. Measure your engine's tallest point, add the 2-inch cowl height, and compare to your target hood height to confirm fit for your specific setup.
