Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. FRP panels are lighter than OEM steel and benefit from the added security pins provide at speed. Verify your existing latch hardware is compatible with the OEM hinge points before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered around factory mounting points, so existing latch and hinge hardware will align correctly. Before installation, inspect your OEM hinges and latch for wear; if either shows damage, service or replace them first to ensure a clean, flush fit.

How much does this hood weigh compared to the factory panel?

FRP construction is significantly lighter than steel, which reduces front-end mass and improves handling balance. For an exact weight figure, check the product specification sheet; lightness is one of the key advantages of the material.
