Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the panel and are essential for safe operation at highway speeds. Verify pin diameter and length against your existing setup or OEM specifications before ordering.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered to align with factory mounting points. Before installation, confirm your existing latch and hinge hardware are in good working condition. Any bent or worn hinges should be replaced to ensure proper panel alignment and closure.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the OEM hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than factory steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and can enhance handling. The exact weight savings depends on your specific OEM panel, but the reduction is substantial enough to notice in performance-oriented builds.
