Do I need hood pins for this?

Yes. Hood pins are required for safe fastening. Verify your existing pin holes align with this panel's latch points before installation, or plan to drill new holes if needed.

Will this hood fit with my current latches and hinges?

This panel is designed to work with OEM latch and hinge assemblies. Double-check that your existing hardware aligns with the hood's mounting points—minor fitting adjustments may be necessary depending on latch wear or previous modifications.

How much lighter is carbon fiber than the factory hood?

Carbon fiber is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight reduction depends on the specific OEM panel, but the difference is substantial enough to improve handling and weight distribution at the front end.
