Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Hood pins are not required for this panel to function — your factory latch handles operation as designed. Many builders add pins for security at the track or show. Verify your latch engagement before your first drive.

Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinges?

Yes. This panel is engineered to use factory mounting points and latch geometry. Your existing hardware bolts directly to the new hood without modification.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP delivers a significant weight reduction over OEM steel. The exact savings depend on your specific vehicle's factory panel — compare the specifications on your OEM hood or consult your service manual for reference weight data.
