Will this hood work with my factory hinges and latch?

Yes, the assembly is engineered with factory mounting points to integrate with your existing hinge and latch hardware. Verify that your latch mechanism is in good working order before installation.

Does this hood require hood pins?

Hood pins are not required for fitment but are recommended for added security, especially on track cars or high-speed applications. Your factory latch alone provides sufficient retention for street use.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the original hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung weight and can improve handling balance. The three-piece design also makes the assembly more manageable during installation and future removal.
