Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the hood and keep it from lifting at speed. Factor them into your build if you don't already have a set in place.

Will this hood work with my factory latches?

Yes. This hood is designed to work with your existing hood latches and hinges — no modifications to those components are needed. Verify that your latch hardware is in good working order before installation.

How does FRP compare to my original steel hood in weight?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves handling and reduces front-end weight. You'll feel the difference in acceleration and braking balance, especially on track or spirited driving.
