Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for proper installation and retention. Verify pin fitment with your existing latch and hinge setup before installation.

This hood uses factory mounting points. Confirm your vehicle's latch and hinge hardware align with the panel's attachment holes before purchase.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight reduction depends on your vehicle's original panel — reference your factory service manual for baseline specs if weight is a critical factor in your build.
