Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for this panel. They secure the hood and prevent liftoff at speed. Install them into the factory hood latch points and corresponding holes drilled into the underside of the hood — standard practice for FRP hoods on this platform.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered for factory mounting points and works with your existing latch and hinge hardware. Before installation, inspect your factory hinges and latch for wear or damage — worn components may affect panel alignment. Adjust your hinges as needed to match the factory gap and height.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the stock hood?

FRP construction delivers significant weight savings versus OEM steel. The exact difference depends on your specific vehicle's OEM hood weight. For reference, confirm your factory hood weight in your service manual to calculate the delta yourself.
