Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. FRP panels are lighter than OEM steel, and pins prevent hood flutter at highway speeds and secure the panel during track use.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood uses factory mounting points, so your existing latch and hinge hardware bolts on directly with no modification needed.

How much lighter is this compared to the original hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces front-end weight and improves handling balance. For exact weight savings, verify the panel weight against your vehicle's original hood specification.
