Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required for proper retention. OEM latches alone may not provide sufficient hold during highway driving. Install pins on both sides for optimal safety and security.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to mount directly to your factory latch and hinge points without modification. Existing hardware requires no alteration.

How much weight does this save compared to the factory hood?

FRP construction delivers significant weight reduction over OEM steel. The exact savings depend on your specific vehicle configuration, but the material itself is considerably lighter and improves overall front-end weight distribution.
