Does this hood require hood pins?

Yes. Hood pins are required for safe operation and are not included with this hood. Verify your existing latch and hinge hardware is compatible with the new panel before installation.

Will my factory hood latch work with this hood?

Factory latches and hinges are typically compatible, but always verify fit on your specific vehicle before committing to the purchase. Check that your OEM hardware aligns with the mounting points on the new panel.

How much lighter is this compared to the OEM hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than factory steel hoods, improving front-end weight distribution and handling. For exact weight comparison, reference your vehicle's service manual for OEM specifications.
