Does the hood come painted?

No. It ships in a primer coat and needs to be prepped, painted and protected to match your car's color.

Will it fit my car without modification?

It is made to factory specifications as a direct OE replacement, so it is designed to bolt on at the original mounting points. Check that the listing matches your model and year.

Is steel better than an aluminum or fiberglass hood?

Steel matches the original for strength and factory appearance. Aluminum and fiberglass save weight but cost more and can change the look.

What is needed to install it?

You reuse the original hinges and latch hardware, and the hood should be aligned and painted before final fitting. A body shop can handle alignment and paint.

Can I paint it myself?

The primed surface is ready for prep and paint, but a proper color match and clear coat usually need spray equipment and a booth.

Our take on the Factory Style Steel Hood Primed

This is a direct-fit OE replacement hood in primed steel, made to factory dimensions so it bolts on where the original did. The steel construction matches the original's gauge and stamping, and the primed finish is ready for prep, paint and clear coat to match your car's color. It suits drivers repairing collision or rust damage who want original-style fitment rather than a custom or lightweight hood. Against aftermarket cowl or carbon hoods, it gives up weight savings and styling but keeps the factory look and simpler installation.
