Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. Your vehicle's factory latch will mount normally, but pins add security during driving and at track events — especially important with FRP panels. Verify pin hole locations on your latch assembly before final installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes, this hood uses factory mounting points for both latch and hinges. Confirm your latch hardware is in good working condition before installation — a worn factory latch may not secure an aftermarket hood as tightly as intended.

How much weight does FRP save compared to the original hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing front-end mass noticeably. The exact weight difference depends on your factory hood condition, but the material difference is substantial — particularly beneficial for handling and weight distribution on track.
