Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Hood pins are required for this installation. They secure the hood at the front edge and are essential for safety during highway driving, especially with a lighter FRP panel. Source pins separately and install according to your vehicle's mounting specifications.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinge?

Yes. This hood is engineered to use existing hinge and latch points. Before final installation, verify that the hinge brackets and latch mechanism align properly with the hood's pre-drilled mounting locations.

How much weight does FRP save compared to the original hood?

FRP construction delivers significant weight reduction versus OEM steel, improving front-end handling and acceleration. The exact savings depend on your original hood's specifications — weigh both panels on a scale for a direct comparison on your build.
