Do I need hood pins for this installation?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the hood during driving and prevent lift at highway speeds. Verify your existing latch hardware is compatible with FRP panel mounting before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points, so your OEM latch and hinge hardware will bolt on directly. No modification to the frame or mounting bracket is needed — alignment is straightforward if your existing hardware is in good condition.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the original hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves acceleration and reduces front-end weight transfer under braking. For exact weight savings on your specific vehicle, compare the specs of your factory hood to the FRP assembly after you receive it.
