Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for this installation. They secure the panel at the front edge and are essential for safe operation at speed. Source pins separately if not already equipped.

Will this hood work with my factory latch?

This hood is designed to use your existing latch assembly without modification. The mounting points align with OEM hinges. Verify that your latch engages smoothly before final installation.

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

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing front-end mass. The exact weight savings depends on your factory hood configuration — weigh both panels for a precise comparison relevant to your setup.
