Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for secure installation and to keep the hood latched during driving. Verify your existing hinge and latch hardware is in working condition before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to mount to your vehicle's factory hinge and latch locations—no drilling or fabrication needed. Check that both hinges and the latch mechanism operate smoothly before bolting on the new hood.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and handling. The exact weight savings depends on your vehicle's original hood specification—weigh both before and after if precision matters for your build.
