Are hood pins required for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. Because FRP is lighter than factory steel, pins prevent hood flutter at highway speeds and provide added security during hard acceleration or track use.

Will this work with my factory hinges and latch?

Yes. This hood is engineered to bolt directly to your existing hinge and latch points. No modifications to the hinge hardware are necessary.

How does weight compare to the stock hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel. This reduces unsprung weight and improves overall vehicle balance—a key reason many builders choose composite panels for track or performance builds.
