Why are hood pins required?

FRP panels are lighter than OEM steel, and hood pins secure the panel during high-speed driving and prevent unintended lift. They're essential for safety and are a standard install with any aftermarket hood. Install them at the factory hood pin locations.

Will this work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to mount directly to your vehicle's existing latch and hinge hardware using the factory mounting points. No modifications to latching components are needed.

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

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung weight and can improve handling. For exact weight savings on your vehicle, weigh your factory hood and compare it to this panel's specifications.
