Do I need hood pins with this FRP hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for safe operation and are not included with this panel. They secure the hood at the front corners and prevent lift under acceleration or wind load. Source OEM-style pins or adjustable aftermarket units to match your setup.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to mount directly to your existing OEM latch and hinge assembly with no drilling or modification. Before installation, clean the hinge points and verify all mounting hardware is in good condition.

How much does FRP weigh compared to the original hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and handling. For your exact weight comparison, reference your service manual or scale both panels directly—every build is different.
