Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the panel during operation and are essential for safety at speed. Verify pin length against your hood thickness before ordering separately.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is designed to mount at factory hinge and latch locations. Before installation, inspect your OEM latch mechanism for any wear or damage — a worn factory latch may not seat properly on a new panel.

How does weight compare to the original hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung weight at the front and can improve overall handling. If you're planning suspension or braking upgrades, this weight savings pairs well with those modifications.
