Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for this installation. They secure the panel at the front edge and prevent lift at highway speeds. Use quality stainless or latch-pin hardware rated for your vehicle's weight and driving conditions.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to mount using existing factory latch and hinge points — no modification to your frame or hinges needed. The mounting geometry matches OEM fitment, so installation is straightforward bolt-on.

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

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front axle. The exact savings depend on your factory hood specification, but FRP construction delivers measurable improvement for both street and track balance.
