Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. Your OEM latching mechanism alone is not sufficient once you switch to this FRP hood. Install pins at both the driver and passenger side to secure the hood during driving.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered with factory mounting points that align with OEM latch and hinge locations, so no bracket modifications or drilling is necessary. Install using your existing hardware and fasteners.

How does FRP weight compare to my OEM hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than factory steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and handling. You'll notice the reduction immediately when opening and closing the hood by hand.
