Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required and not included. Measure your existing latch-to-hinge spacing and source pins rated for your hood weight. Pins anchor the hood securely and are essential when running FRP construction.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

This hood is engineered for direct bolt-on fitment to factory mounting points. Verify that your latch and hinge hardware are in good condition before installation—any wear on the original mechanism can affect panel alignment and operation.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the original hood?

FRP delivers a significant weight reduction over OEM steel. The exact difference depends on your vehicle's original hood mass, but the lighter construction improves front-end response and reduces load on hinges during operation.
