Why do hood pins come up in fitment notes if they're not included?

Hood pins are a separate safety component recommended for any aftermarket hood on performance or heavily modified vehicles. They're not included because pin length and diameter vary by installation preference and vehicle setup. Source pins that match your hinge spacing and secure them with appropriate fasteners.

Will this hood work with my OEM latches and hinges?

Yes. This hood is engineered to use factory mounting points, so OEM latches and hinges bolt up without modification. You're not changing your latch mechanism — just swapping the panel.

How much weight does this save compared to the stock hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front end. For exact weight specifications, reference your vehicle's service manual for OEM hood weight and compare it to your preferred finishing method and paint weight.
