Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. FRP hoods benefit from positive retention, especially at speed. Verify pin length and diameter compatibility with your mounting holes before installation.

Will this work with my OEM latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered to use factory latching and hinge points. Before purchase, confirm that your existing hinge hardware is in good condition and your latch mechanism operates smoothly — any wear will carry over to the new panel.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the stock hood?

FRP delivers significant weight savings over factory steel. The exact difference depends on your vehicle's original panel; weigh both before and after installation if tracking performance gains.
