Are hood pins required with this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. Use a quality latch-pin set rated for your vehicle's hood weight to ensure proper closure and clearance during acceleration and highway driving.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points, so your existing hinges will align correctly. Verify that your factory latches engage smoothly before finalizing installation — minor adjustment to latch catch points may be needed depending on wear.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the OEM hood?

FRP panels are significantly lighter than factory steel, delivering noticeable weight reduction at the front of the vehicle. For precise weight comparison, check the specifications of your current hood and reference the FRP panel's weight before purchase.
