Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for proper latch and hinge function. This hood uses factory mounting points, so verify your latch mechanism before installation and secure the hood with appropriate pins.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is designed around factory mounting points, so your existing hinge and latch hardware should align. Double-check fitment by test-fitting the panel before securing it permanently — minor gap adjustments at the hinges are normal.

How much lighter is FRP than the factory steel hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces front-end weight and improves handling balance. For exact weight specs, verify the panel's specifications in your order details.
