Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. They prevent hood lift at speed and secure the panel during aggressive driving. Install them at the factory latch points on your existing hinges.

Will this hood work with my original latches and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points, so it bolts directly to your original hinges. Your existing latch mechanism will operate normally—no modifications needed.

How much lighter is this compared to the stock hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung weight at the front of your vehicle. This improves acceleration, braking response, and overall balance.
