Are hood pins required for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the hood at the front corners and are essential for safe operation at highway speeds, especially with FRP construction. Verify your existing pin mounting points before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to bolt directly to factory latch and hinge points with no modifications needed. Confirm your existing hardware is in good condition before installation to ensure proper fitment and operation.

How much weight reduction should I expect compared to the OEM hood?

FRP construction delivers a significant weight reduction over factory steel hoods. The exact savings depend on your specific OEM hood weight, but FRP panels consistently deliver a measurable improvement in front-end weight distribution.
