Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the hood at the front edge and prevent lift at highway speeds. Verify your existing latch mechanism is compatible before installation, or plan to source pins separately to match your vehicle's mounting points.

Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinges?

This hood is designed to mount using factory hinge and latch points. Before ordering, confirm that your vehicle's existing hardware aligns with the mounting face on this panel — fitment may vary depending on aftermarket hood modifications you've made previously.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP panels are significantly lighter than OEM steel hoods, reducing unsprung weight and improving suspension response. For exact weight savings on your setup, weigh both panels side-by-side — FRP density varies based on wall thickness and reinforcement schedule.
