Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for this panel. They secure the hood during high-speed driving and are standard practice for aftermarket hoods. Mount them to your existing hood hinges or frame points depending on your setup.

Will this work with my stock latch and hinge assembly?

Yes. This hood is designed to work with factory latch and hinge hardware. The mounting points align with OEM locations, so no modification to the existing mechanisms is needed.

How much lighter is this compared to the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front axle. For the exact weight difference on your specific vehicle, measure your factory hood and compare it to this panel's weight specification.
