Are hood pins required for this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for proper fitment and safety. Verify your vehicle's existing hood pin holes or plan for a compatible aftermarket pin kit designed for your setup.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered with factory mounting points for direct compatibility. Before installation, confirm your existing hinges and latch mechanism are in good condition — worn hardware should be replaced to ensure proper closure and alignment.

How much weight does this hood save compared to factory?

FRP construction delivers significant weight reduction over OEM steel hoods. The exact savings depend on your vehicle's factory panel weight — weigh both before and after installation to quantify the improvement for your build.
