Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the FRP panel during driving and prevent hood flutter at highway speeds. Source pins rated for your vehicle's hood weight and install them through the factory latch points.

Will this hood work with my stock latch and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points, so stock hinges and latches bolt up directly. Before final installation, verify the latch engages smoothly and the hood closes evenly — shim as needed for alignment.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front axle. The exact weight difference depends on your baseline steel hood, but the reduction improves handling and reduces rotational mass under acceleration.
