Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. Use the factory latch point as your anchor, then secure both corners with external pins rated for highway speeds. This prevents panel flutter and ensures safety at speed.

Will this work with my OEM hood latch and hinges?

Yes. Factory mounting points are preserved, so the latch and hinge alignment remain stock. Mount the panel using your existing hardware and verify smooth operation before final tightening.

How much does FRP weigh compared to the original hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and reduces inertial load during braking and cornering. Exact weight difference depends on your specific OEM panel—reference your service manual for baseline specs.
