Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. They're essential for securing the panel safely during driving and prevent it from lifting. Factor them into your project budget and installation plan.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Verify your OEM latch and hinge mounting points before ordering. While this hood is designed for direct mounting, always confirm that your existing hardware aligns with the new panel's attachment points to avoid fitment issues.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces front-end weight and improves handling balance. The exact weight savings depends on your baseline, but the reduction is substantial enough to notice in vehicle dynamics.
