Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

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

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces front-end weight and improves handling balance. Exact weight savings depend on your specific vehicle's OEM hood specifications.
