Are hood pins required for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are mandatory for safe operation and to secure the hood during driving. Purchase them separately and install them at the front corners of the hood opening.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood is designed with factory mounting points for direct bolt-on attachment. Your existing latches and hinges will align with the panel. Verify hinge condition before installation — worn hinges may require attention for proper closure.

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

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight savings depends on your original hood condition. The reduced mass benefits acceleration and handling without sacrificing strength or durability.
