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 flutter at speed. Verify your existing pin configuration matches the hood's mounting holes before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood is designed with factory-style mounting points. Before committing, check that your vehicle's existing hinge and latch hardware aligns with the panel's anchor points — minor adjustments may be needed depending on condition of original components.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the stock hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front end. This improves handling and reduces load on hinges and latches. For exact weight reduction specific to your setup, reference your vehicle's service manual for OEM hood weight.
