Do I need hood pins or latches for this panel?

This FRP hood uses the factory latch mechanism — no pins required. Verify your existing hood latches are in good condition and properly aligned before installation to ensure proper seating and security.

Will this hood fit with my factory hinge and latch assembly?

Yes, the hood is engineered to work with factory hinges and latches. Confirm that your latch points match the OEM mounting configuration, and test fit before final fastening to ensure proper gaps and alignment.

Is this lighter than the OEM steel hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces front-end weight and can improve handling balance. The exact weight savings varies based on your specific setup — the material itself weighs considerably less than comparable steel panels.
