Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for safe operation. They secure the hood at the front corners and prevent flutter at highway speeds. Verify your existing pin holes align with the factory mounting points before final installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The mounting points are designed to work with OEM latch and hinge hardware. Inspect your existing hinges for wear before installation — if the factory hardware is loose or damaged, service it first to ensure proper panel alignment and fitment.

How much weight does this save compared to the factory hood?

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel, improving overall vehicle balance and weight distribution. For exact weight specifications, reference the technical data sheet or compare with your factory hood on a scale.
