Do I need hood pins with this FRP hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. Since FRP is lighter than factory steel, pins help secure the hood during track use or high-speed driving. They mount to your existing hood latch area and engine bay — verify your current latch hardware is in good condition before installation.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to use your existing OEM latch and hinge hardware. Before installation, inspect your factory hinges and latch for any wear or damage — replacing worn components now prevents headaches during fitment.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the original hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and handling. The exact weight savings depends on your original factory hood design — measure both pieces side-by-side if you need precise numbers for your build.
