Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes — hood pins are required for proper and safe installation. They secure the hood at the front corners and work with the factory latch to keep the hood in place during driving. Source your preferred pins based on your budget and style preference before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to use the existing latch and hinge points on your vehicle with no drilling or modification needed. The mounting holes align with factory locations for a direct bolt-on fit.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the original hood?

FRP delivers significant weight savings over OEM steel. The exact difference depends on your original hood, but the reduction in unsprung weight at the front of the vehicle improves acceleration and handling. Sand the surface and apply your chosen primer and paint before installation to maximize durability and appearance.
