Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for proper installation and safety. They secure the hood and prevent lift at highway speeds. Source quality pins rated for your vehicle's weight and install per manufacturer guidance.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood uses factory mounting points and integrates with your existing latch and hinge assembly without modification. Verify your hinges are in good working condition before installation.

How does the weight compare to the OEM hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces overall vehicle weight and improves handling. This also decreases load on hinges and reduces hood flutter at speed.
