Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for safe operation. Verify your existing latch and hinge are in good condition before installation, as the hood relies on both the factory catch and pins to secure properly at highway speeds.

Will this hood fit my factory latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to mount using your vehicle's existing factory latch and hinge hardware. No modifications to the hinge or catch points are needed — bolt-up installation to OEM attachment locations.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung weight and improves front-end handling response. Exact weight savings depend on your baseline factory hood; verify your current hood weight if precise reduction is critical to your build.
