Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for safe operation. They secure the panel at the front edge and are essential for highway speeds and track use. Source pins separately and install per your vehicle's specification.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to use factory latch and hinge locations without modification. Your existing hardware will mount directly — no drilling or adapter brackets needed.

How does weight compare to the stock hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung mass and improves handling. For exact weight figures, reference the technical spec sheet or compare directly with your removed factory hood on a scale.
