Does this hood require hood pins?

Yes. Hood pins are required for this hood and must be purchased separately. They secure the panel during operation and should be installed at both front corners.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

The mounting points are designed to align with OEM hinge and latch locations. Verify your vehicle's existing hardware is in good condition before installation. Worn latches may need adjustment or replacement for proper closure.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the original hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel panels, which reduces overall weight and can improve front-end handling. For specific weight data, reference your vehicle's service manual for the OEM hood spec and compare it to the reduction you'll gain.
