Do I need hood pins for this cowl hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required to secure this panel during operation. Verify your existing hinge and latch hardware before installation to ensure proper alignment with the factory mounting points.

Will this hood work with my original latching mechanism?

This cowl hood is designed to fit your factory hinge and latch locations. Before purchase, confirm your vehicle's original hood assembly is in working condition so the new panel seats and latches correctly.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP panels are significantly lighter than OEM steel hoods, which translates to reduced unsprung weight and improved handling. For exact weight specifications, measure your factory hood against the new panel after arrival.
