Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to use the factory latch and hinge system without modification. The OEM mounting points are preserved, so no drilling, adapters, or aftermarket brackets are required.

Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Hood pins are not required for normal street use. The factory latch system is fully compatible and will secure the panel as intended. Pins are optional for track use or extreme conditions where additional hold-down assurance is preferred.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP construction significantly reduces weight compared to factory steel. The exact weight difference depends on your baseline hood, but FRP panels consistently deliver measurable reduction in front-end mass, which improves braking response and overall handling balance.
