Are hood pins required for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are necessary to secure the hood safely during driving. They prevent unintended opening at speed and work with your factory latch system. Select pins rated for your vehicle's weight and hood dimensions.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinge?

Yes. This hood is engineered to bolt directly to your existing latch and hinge points without modification. The factory fastener locations remain unchanged, making installation straightforward.

How much lighter is this compared to the original hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel equivalents, which reduces front-end weight and improves weight distribution. For exact weight specification, reference the technical sheet on file or contact support with your vehicle details.
