Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. The cowl design and weight distribution make pins essential for secure fastening during driving. Choose quality pins and ensure they're properly installed through the factory mounting holes.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood is engineered to align with factory hinge and latch points, so existing hardware compatibility is maintained. Verify hinge alignment during test-fitting before final installation to confirm proper closure and gap consistency.

How much weight does this hood save compared to OEM?

FRP is significantly lighter than factory steel, reducing overall vehicle weight. The exact savings depends on your specific OEM hood, but the material reduction is noticeable and benefits handling and acceleration.
