FAQ Q&A

Q: Does this require drilling or cutting for installation?

A: Installation typically involves removing the front grille to mount the lock assembly. While it uses existing mounting points, some rivet tools are required to secure the components as shown in the hardware kit.

Q: Can I use my factory ignition key for this hood lock?

A: No, this specific kit comes with its own pair of dedicated keys designed for the included cylinder. It ensures an independent layer of security for your engine compartment.

Q: Will it flutter at high speeds like the stock rubber latches?

A: Yes, this locking assembly provides a much firmer hold than factory rubber latches, significantly reducing or eliminating hood flutter during high-speed highway driving.
