Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes. Hood pins are required for proper security and are not included. FRP panels are lighter than OEM steel, but pins are still essential to prevent hood flutter at highway speeds and ensure latch reliability.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The hood is designed to bolt directly to your existing hinge assembly and factory latch without modifications. Verify alignment before final tightening to ensure smooth operation.

How much weight does this save compared to the original hood?

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which translates to reduced unsprung weight and improved front-end handling. For exact weight figures, reference the panel specifications or weigh before and after installation.
