Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed with factory mounting points that align with your vehicle's original hinge and latch hardware. Verify your hinge and latch condition before installation to ensure smooth operation.

Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Hood pins are not required for normal street use if your factory latches are in good working order. Many owners opt for pins as added security during track days or performance driving. That choice is up to your preference and intended use.

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

FRP construction delivers significant weight reduction versus OEM steel. The exact savings depend on your vehicle's original hood weight. Most owners report noticeable improvement in front-end response and weight distribution.
