Do I need hood pins for this FRP hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required with this racer-style panel to secure it properly at highway speeds and prevent hood lift. Verify pin placement against your existing latch and hinge locations before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood is designed to use your existing factory mounting points. Confirm that the hinge and latch positions align with your specific model before final installation — fitment varies slightly across hatchback, convertible, clubman, and S/JCW variants.

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

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung weight and improves handling balance. The exact weight savings depends on your original hood — compare the raw panel weight to your factory specification.
