Will this hood work with my existing hinges and latch?

Yes. The OEM profile maintains factory mounting points at both hinges. Your existing latch will align without modification. Verify hinge hardware is in good condition before installation.

Are hood pins required?

Hood pins are required for this installation. They secure the panel at the front edge and are essential for safe operation at highway speeds. Source them separately and install according to your preferred mounting style.

How much lighter is this than the OEM hood?

Carbon fiber significantly reduces weight compared to factory steel, improving front-end balance and handling response. For exact weight specs, reference the panel directly before purchase to confirm it meets your performance goals.
