Do I need hood pins with this cowl hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. The raised cowl profile and lightweight FRP construction mean factory latches alone aren't sufficient to keep the hood secured at speed. Install pins on both sides of the hood for reliable hold-down.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered to align with factory mounting points, so your OEM latch and hinges will function. Verify your hinges are in good condition before installation—worn hinge pins can affect fitment. If your hinges are loose or damaged, address those first for the best result.

How much weight does FRP save compared to the stock hood?

FRP construction delivers significant weight reduction over factory steel hoods, which benefits handling and front-end response. For exact weight specifications on your motor combination, reference your engine bay layout before ordering to confirm the cowl rise clears your specific setup.
