Are hood pins required for this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for safe operation. They secure the panel during acceleration and braking. Source your pins separately and install them in the existing factory hood latch points.

Will this work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood uses factory mounting points on both the latch and hinges. No modification to your frame or hardware is necessary — it bolts directly to existing fastener locations.

How does weight compare to the factory hood?

FRP construction delivers significant weight savings versus OEM steel, which improves front-end handling and reduces unsprung mass. Exact weight varies by configuration; verify your current hood weight and compare during installation.
