Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. FRP panels are lighter than OEM steel, and pins ensure secure fitment at highway speeds and during spirited driving. Install them at the front of the hood for safety and peace of mind.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to align with factory mounting points, so your existing latch and hinge hardware will interface directly without modification. No custom brackets or adapters needed.

How much lighter is this compared to the factory hood?

FRP construction delivers significant weight savings versus OEM steel. The exact difference depends on your baseline, but the material swap alone improves front-end balance and handling dynamics while reducing unsprung mass.
