Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Not required, but strongly recommended. FRP panels are lighter than OEM steel, and pins keep the hood secure at highway speeds and during hard acceleration. Check your vehicle's OEM mounting location and latch engagement before deciding.

Will this work with my factory hood latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed with factory mounting points and works with your vehicle's OEM latch and hinge hardware. No modification to the latch mechanism is necessary.

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

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves weight distribution and handling. For exact weight comparison, reference your vehicle's service manual or weigh both panels side-by-side after installation.
