Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the panel during high-speed driving and prevent flutter. Install them through the existing latch points on both sides of the hood.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to bolt directly to your factory latch and hinge hardware without modification. Verify alignment before final tightening.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight difference depends on the thickness of your original panel, but the reduction in unsprung weight is one of the main benefits of switching to composite construction.
