Does this hood require hood pins or will the factory latch work?

This hood uses factory latch mounting points and works with your vehicle's OEM hood latch mechanism. Hood pins are optional for track use or show purposes — they're not required for street driving.

Will this hood fit with my factory hinges?

Yes. The hood is engineered for direct bolt-on installation to factory hinge locations. Before install, verify hinge condition and alignment — any wear or damage to the hinge pins will affect hood closure, just as with OEM panels.

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

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight savings depends on your specific vehicle's original hood weight. Most owners see noticeable front-end weight reduction, which improves weight distribution and handling balance.
