Do I need hood pins or a latch bar with a carbon fiber hood?

This hood is designed to work with your vehicle's existing OEM latch mechanism — no modifications required. Hood pins are optional and depend on your track use or personal preference for additional security during high-speed driving.

Will the carbon fiber hood work with my factory hinges?

Yes. This hood uses the same hinge mounting points as the OEM hood, so existing hinges bolt up directly without any adaptations or spacers.

How much lighter is this than a stock steel hood?

Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front of the vehicle. For exact weight savings, measure your current hood or contact the manufacturer with your specific model year.
