Do I need hood pins for this FRP hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe installation and operation. They secure the hood at the front edge and prevent lift at highway speeds. Verify pin hole alignment with your existing hood mounting points before final installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to use factory latch and hinge points without modification. Before installation, confirm that your vehicle's existing hinges and latch mechanism are in good working condition, as worn factory hardware may require attention during fitment.

How does FRP weight compare to the original hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than factory steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front of the vehicle. This can improve handling and reduce stress on factory hinges. Ensure hinges are properly adjusted after installation to maintain correct hood alignment.
