Will this hood work with my factory hood latches and hinges?

This hood is designed to use OEM mounting points and latch locations. Verify your vehicle's hinge and latch hardware are in good condition before installation. Factory fasteners secure the assembly to your existing hinges.

Do I need hood pins with this two-piece design?

Hood pins are not required for street use, but many owners add them for track days or high-speed driving to prevent panel flutter. The two-piece split is secured by OEM latches; pins are an optional safety upgrade you can install separately if desired.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing overall vehicle weight and improving front-end handling balance. Exact weight savings vary based on your specific vehicle configuration—reference your factory documentation for OEM hood weight if you need a precise comparison.
