Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Hood pins are required for safe operation. They secure the panel during driving and prevent hood flutter at speed. Install them at your vehicle's existing hood latch points.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

Yes—the hood is engineered with factory mounting points. Verify that your existing latches and hinges are in good working condition before installation, as worn hardware may affect panel alignment.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the original hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves weight distribution and handling. The exact weight savings depend on your vehicle's original hood mass—check your service manual for baseline specs.
