Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Hood pins are optional and depend on your driving style and track use. This hood ships with factory-profile mounting points compatible with OEM latch and hinge hardware, so it works with or without pins. If you plan track days or aggressive driving, pins add security and prevent hood flutter at high speeds.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The hood is designed with factory mounting points that align with OEM latch and hinge locations. You can transfer your existing hardware directly without modification. Verify hinge and latch condition before installation to ensure smooth operation.

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

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight reduction depends on the factory hood specification for your vehicle. Since you're replacing the hood one-to-one with factory mounting points, the weight savings translate directly to reduced unsprung mass and improved handling dynamics.
