Will this hinge work with my existing hood latch?

Yes — this hinge is engineered to work with factory hood latch geometry. The hinge pivot points align with OEM specs, so your latch should engage and release without binding.

Do I need hood pins with this hinge?

No requirement for hood pins — the factory latch handles hold-down. Hood pins are optional if you want extra security during high-speed driving or track use.

Will the hood sit at the same height as the fender after installation?

It should, since this is an OEM-spec replacement hinge. If your hood gap is off after install, check that the hinge bolts are tight and seated fully at the mounting points — minor gaps can also come from bent hood or latch wear.
