Are hood pins required for this panel?

Yes. This hood design requires hood pins for secure fastening during operation. Verify your vehicle's existing pin setup and ensure compatibility with the new panel mounting points before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered around factory mounting geometry. Check that your existing latch and hinges are in good working condition and aligned properly — any wear on the originals may need attention before the new panel is installed.

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

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel. For exact weight savings on your setup, weigh both panels side by side, as the difference depends on your vehicle's original hood construction and any modifications you may have made.
