Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required to secure this panel during use. They anchor the hood at the front and prevent unwanted lift at speed. Install them at the factory pin locations on the hood and corresponding mounting points on the frame.

Will this hood work with my OEM latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed with factory-compatible latch and hinge mounting points, so your existing hardware bolts directly into place without modification or fitment work.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP delivers significant weight savings over OEM steel, improving front-end balance and reducing unsprung mass. The exact weight reduction depends on your baseline, but the material difference is substantial enough to be felt in handling and acceleration characteristics.
