Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required for secure installation. They prevent the hood from lifting under acceleration or at speed. Plan to source pins separately and drill mounting holes on both the hood and fenders as needed for your setup.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points and is designed to work with OEM latch and hinge hardware. Verify your existing hinges are in good condition before installation; worn hinge pins may need replacement to ensure proper alignment and gap closure.

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

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves front-end response and handling. The exact weight savings depends on your current hood's condition; a new FRP panel will noticeably reduce unsprung mass at the front.
