Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. Factory latches alone are not sufficient to safely secure an FRP panel at highway speeds. Pins bolt through your existing latch points and provide positive security.

Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points, so OEM latches and hinges will bolt directly. Verify alignment before tightening all fasteners — minor hinge adjustment is sometimes needed for even gaps.

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

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves front-end responsiveness and reduces overall vehicle weight. The exact savings depend on your vehicle's factory hood weight — your service manual will confirm the OEM figure if you want a precise comparison.
