Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. FRP hoods benefit from pin support during high-speed driving to prevent flutter and ensure consistent panel alignment. Install pins at the factory-drilled mounting locations on both sides of the hood.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to bolt directly to your vehicle's factory latch and hinge hardware. No modifications to existing hardware are necessary—alignment and fitment follow OEM specifications.

How much lighter is this compared to the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel equivalents, which improves overall vehicle dynamics and reduces engine bay weight. The exact weight difference depends on your specific OEM hood, but the material reduction is substantial.
