Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required to secure this panel during highway driving. Factory latches alone won't hold FRP hoods safely at speed. Install a quality hood pin kit rated for your vehicle's engine bay.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points and works with OEM latch hardware. Test the fit before final installation to ensure your latches engage cleanly — minor hinge adjustment is sometimes needed for a flush seal.

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

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front end. This improves handling response and reduces load on your front suspension. Exact weight savings depend on your vehicle's original hood construction.
