Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. The existing factory latch will hold the hood closed during normal driving, but pins add security at the track or during aggressive driving. Install them in the OEM hood pin holes on your frame.

Will this hood work with my factory hinges and latch?

Yes. This hood is engineered to bolt directly to your factory hinges and use the existing latch mechanism without any modification needed.

How much lighter is this than the stock hood?

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves weight distribution and handling. For exact weight comparison, verify your current hood weight and reference the panel specifications.
