Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes, this hood uses factory mounting points and is compatible with OEM latches and hinges. No modifications to the vehicle's structural attachment points are needed.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing overall vehicle weight and improving handling dynamics. The exact weight difference depends on your original hood construction—verify by comparing the two panels directly if weight savings are critical to your setup.
