Do I need hood pins for this installation?

Yes. Hood pins are required and not included with this assembly. Pins secure the hood at the front corners and prevent lift at highway speeds. Measure your existing latch-to-pin point distance and source pins that match your setup.

Will this hood work with my OEM latches and hinges?

This hood is designed to mount using factory hinge and latch locations. Verify that your vehicle's hinge brackets and latch mechanisms are in good condition before installation. If your OEM hardware shows wear or play, address that first to ensure a secure fit.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel units, reducing the weight at the front of the vehicle. This translates to improved weight distribution and handling. For an exact weight specification, reference the product detail sheet or contact support with your vehicle details.
