Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the hood during track driving and prevent liftoff at speed. Source quality pins separately and install them on both sides of the hood frame before your first drive.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes, this hood is engineered to mount using your existing latch and hinge assembly. No modifications to your vehicle's frame or hardware are needed. Verify that your hinges and latch are in good condition before installation.

How much lighter is this than the factory hood?

FRP construction delivers significant weight savings compared to OEM steel. The exact weight difference depends on your factory hood, but expect a noticeable reduction in front-end mass, which improves handling and acceleration.
