Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Hood pins are optional and depend on your driving style and track use. Street driving typically doesn't require them. If you plan regular track days or aggressive acceleration, pins provide additional security. Factory latch is designed for street use and holds securely under normal conditions.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The hood is engineered to use factory latch and hinge mounting points. No modifications to your OEM hardware are needed. Simply remove the original hood and bolt this one on using existing attachment points.

How much lighter is this compared to the stock hood?

FRP construction delivers significant weight savings over OEM steel. The exact difference depends on your baseline panel, but the reduction is noticeable and contributes to improved handling and reduced unsprung mass. Prep and prime the surface before painting to ensure durability and long-term finish quality.
