Are hood pins required for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are mandatory for safe operation and must be installed at the factory pin locations on both sides of the hood. This ensures the panel stays secured during driving.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood is designed to use your existing hinge and latch assembly. Before installation, verify that your latch striker and hinge mounting points are clear of damage or corrosion. Any wear on factory hinges should be addressed prior to fitment.

How much weight does FRP save compared to the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and handling. The exact weight savings depends on your original hood condition, but the material reduction is substantial. This also benefits fuel economy over time.
