Do I need hood pins for this FRP hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. FRP panels are lighter than OEM steel, and pins provide additional security and prevent hood flutter at highway speeds. Pins are not included with this hood; source them separately based on your preferred style and diameter.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The hood maintains factory mounting locations and hinge compatibility. Your existing OEM latch and hinges bolt directly to the FRP hood without modification or adapters.

How much lighter is this compared to the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight reduction depends on your baseline, but the material choice alone delivers noticeable improvement in front-end weight distribution and overall vehicle dynamics.
