Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required to secure this FRP hood and prevent unwanted movement at highway speeds. They work with the factory latch points and are a standard safety upgrade for any replacement hood.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to use the factory mounting points and latch assembly. Install it using your existing hardware — no modification to the hinge or latch mechanism is necessary.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the original hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces overall vehicle weight and front-end mass. The exact weight savings depends on your original hood, but the material swap delivers a measurable reduction in unsprung weight.
