Will this hood work with my OEM hood latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood uses factory mounting points and is engineered to accept your existing OEM latches and hinges without modification. Verify hinge alignment before tightening to ensure proper fit and gap.

Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Hood pins are not required for street use if your OEM latch and hinges are in good condition. If you track the car or want added security at speed, aftermarket hood pins are available separately and bolt into the standard pin holes.

How much lighter is this than the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing weight at the front of the vehicle. For your exact weight savings, compare your factory hood's weight specification to confirm the performance benefit for your setup.
