Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for proper fitment and safety. They secure the panel at the front edge and are not included. Choose pins rated for your vehicle's hood weight and install per manufacturer specifications.

Will this work with my OEM hood latch and hinges?

Yes. This panel uses factory mounting points and bolt directly to existing latch and hinge hardware. No modifications to the hinge assembly are needed.

How much weight does this save compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight reduction depends on your baseline factory panel, but FRP construction delivers noticeable front-end weight savings for handling and acceleration.
