Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the panel at the front of the hood opening and prevent wind lift at highway speeds. Order them separately and install according to your preferred mounting method.

Will this work with my OEM hood latch and hinges?

This hood is designed to integrate with factory latch and hinge points. Verify the mounting hole locations on your existing hardware before installation — slight adjustments may be needed depending on your vehicle's condition or prior modifications.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the stock hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves handling and reduces engine bay load. The exact weight savings depend on your vehicle's original panel, so weigh both before and after for your specific setup.
