Are hood pins required for this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required to secure this FRP hood safely during operation. Verify your vehicle's hinge and latch alignment before installation to ensure proper fitment.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points, so your existing latch and hinge hardware will bolt directly. Check that hinge pins and latch striker are in good condition before assembly.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung weight and improves handling response. Exact weight savings depend on your factory panel specifications.
