Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for secure fitment. FRP hoods can flex at highway speeds without them, so factor pinning hardware into your install plan. Most builders run stainless or billet pins for both function and appearance.

Will this work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to use your OEM latch and hinge points, making it a direct swap. Verify your hinges are in good condition before installation — any play or wear will show up with the new panel.

How much weight does FRP save versus the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight savings depends on your baseline, but the material reduction is noticeable on the scale and contributes to improved front-end response and braking balance.
