Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered with factory mounting points that align with OEM latch and hinge hardware. Verify hinge pin condition before installation—factory hinges may be worn if your vehicle is high-mileage.

Do I need hood pins for this FRP hood?

Hood pins are optional but not required for street use. FRP hoods are secure with factory latches. If you plan track use or want extra security, hood pins are a popular add-on—measure your hood before purchasing pins to ensure proper fit.

How much lighter is this than the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than original steel, which reduces weight at the front of the vehicle and improves overall balance. Exact weight savings depend on your baseline, but the material choice alone delivers noticeable improvement over factory.
