Do I need hood pins with this FRP hood?

Hood pins are optional and depend on your driving style and local track rules. If you run road course events or autocross, pins add security at speed. For street use, stock latches are sufficient. Factory latch points are preserved on this panel for reliable everyday operation.

Will this hood work with my OEM hood latch and hinges?

Yes. Factory mounting and latch points are integrated into the design, so your existing hinges and latch hardware will function without modification or adapter brackets.

How much weight savings does FRP deliver compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which translates to reduced front-end weight and improved weight distribution. Exact weight savings depends on your baseline OEM panel, but the reduction is noticeable for both street and track driving.
