Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. Verify your current hood latch and hinge condition before installation — if they're worn, refresh them to ensure secure closure and proper panel alignment.

Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinges?

Yes. The factory mounting points are preserved, so your existing hinge and latch hardware bolt directly to this panel without modification. No drilling or adapter brackets needed.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight savings depends on your vehicle's original hood — sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish to ensure proper adhesion and durability.
