Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for safe operation. They secure the hood at the front corners and prevent flutter at highway speeds. Verify your existing pins are in good condition, or source a quality pin set separately.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood is built with factory mounting points that align with OEM hinge and latch locations. Verify your existing hardware is functional before installation. If hinges are bent or latches are worn, service or replace them before fitting the new hood.

How does the weight compare to my OEM hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than steel factory hoods, which reduces unsprung weight at the front end and can improve handling balance. The exact weight savings depends on your original hood condition, but the material difference is substantial.
