Does this hood require latches and hinges to be transferred from my OEM hood?

Yes. This hood assembly accepts the stock latches and hinges from your original hood without modification. The mounting points are OEM-correct, so your existing hardware transfers directly.

Will this hood fit without hood pins?

This hood uses factory latch engagement just like the original. Hood pins are not required, though many owners add them for added security during high-speed driving or track use. That choice is entirely up to you.

How much weight does this save compared to the factory hood?

Real carbon fiber delivers substantial weight reduction over OEM steel. The exact savings depend on your vehicle's original hood weight, but carbon construction is significantly lighter in every application. This translates to improved handling and reduced front-end mass.
