Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes. This hood requires pins to secure it properly during operation. Ensure your pin setup clears the hood's new profile before final installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinge hardware?

The ZL1 profile may not align with factory latches designed for the original hood shape. Verify latch and hinge clearance with the new contours before committing to installation, or plan to adapt your existing hardware accordingly.

How does FRP compare to a steel hood in terms of weight?

FRP construction is significantly lighter than factory steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and handling balance. This benefit is most noticeable on track days or spirited driving.
