Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes — hood pins are required for safe operation. They secure the panel at the front corners and prevent hood lift during high-speed driving. Source pins rated for your vehicle's engine bay configuration.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is designed with factory-style latch and hinge mounting points. Verify that your existing latch and hinge hardware aligns with the bolt holes on the panel before installation.

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

FRP construction delivers significant weight reduction versus OEM steel. The exact savings depends on your baseline — measure your current hood to establish a reference point, then weigh the new panel for a direct comparison.
