Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required to secure this panel properly. Verify your vehicle's existing pin holes align with the mounting points on this hood before installation. If your setup requires new pin locations, mark and drill carefully to maintain panel integrity.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinge hardware?

This hood is designed for factory mounting points. Your existing latch and hinges should bolt directly to the panel. Before purchase, confirm your current hardware is in good condition—worn latches or hinges may need replacement to secure the hood properly and safely.

How much lighter is this FRP hood compared to the original?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel panels. The exact weight savings depend on your specific factory hood, but the material reduction is substantial and will be noticeable in overall vehicle weight reduction and handling characteristics.
