Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. This FRP hood is designed to mount using your factory latch and hinge, but pins add security during high-speed driving and prevent hood flutter. Install them at the front corners of the hood for best results.

Will this work with my factory hood latch and hinges?

Yes. This panel is engineered to use the existing latch and hinge points on your vehicle, so no fabrication or modification to the frame is needed. Verify the mounting holes align with your existing hardware before final installation.

How much lighter is FRP than my OEM steel hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than factory steel panels, which helps improve front-end weight distribution and handling. The exact weight difference depends on your specific vehicle, but the material reduction is noticeable for performance-focused builds.
