Disclaimer:
VSAero products are usually made from fiberglass, which often requires modifications such as cutting, adding fiberglass, drilling holes, shaving, and sanding to achieve a proper fit. Due to the materials and manufacturing processes involved, these products are not intended as “direct bolt-on” parts and may require additional preparation, such as sanding, shaving, filling gaps, or other custom bodywork. Installation might also necessitate modifications to vehicle components, including the removal of reinforcement bars, bumpers, turn signals, and other safety features.
However, certain bumper add-ons and lips may require less extensive modifications, as they generally overlap the bumper cover or attach beneath it, minimizing the need for significant vehicle alterations. Even so, VSAero strongly recommends professional installation by a custom shop with experience in handling fiberglass body kits to ensure proper fitment and safety.

FAQ
Why does the hood require hood pins?
Aftermarket FRP and carbon fiber hoods require auxiliary hood pins because composite material expands, contracts, and flexes differently than OEM metal. Over time, this can shift latch alignment, and at highway speeds the reduced weight of a composite hood combined with aerodynamic lift creates upward force on the leading edge. Hood pins provide a mandatory secondary safety measure that eliminates the single point of failure.
Why Aerocatch? Aerocatch latches are the industry standard because they sit nearly flush with the hood surface — no protruding pin shafts. They use a spring-loaded, quarter-turn locking mechanism that clicks into a detented, closed position, giving both visual and tactile confirmation that the hood is secure. Unlike traditional hood pins, there is no separate R-clip or lanyard to lose, and the integrated assembly is available in finishes that blend cleanly into painted or carbon-fiber hoods. Originally proven in FIA-sanctioned racing series, they carry motorsport-grade reliability onto street-driven builds.
Hood pins are typically installed at the leading edge of the hood, approximately 6–8 inches inward from each headlight corner, with a solid backing plate on the underside. Never install through unsupported laminate. Professional paint and body shop installation is strongly recommended; mount all hardware before painting to ensure proper alignment and sealant application.
When reading the product description for one of the hood designs for an BMW F32, it says “Prep Work is Required”
What do you mean by this?
Fiberglass parts always require prep work before they can be primed and painted. This product is made with fiberglass material; therefore, it will exhibit chips, breaks, cracks, waves, scratches and holes which require modification. It is necessary to dry fit and drill mounting holes and perform body work before painting. Cutting and adding fiberglass may be required for proper fitment. Ships direct from the manufacturer or a distributor. Primer finished. Hand layup is the manufacturing process used for the majority of our fiberglass parts. Hoods require hood pins. We do not offer any guarantee of fitment on vehicles that have been involved in accidents and/or have body damage or customization.
