Do I need hood pins for this hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for secure installation and are not included with this assembly. Purchase separately and install at the factory pin locations on the hood panel.

Will this work with my OEM hood latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to mate with factory latch and hinge mounting points. Verify that all mounting holes align with your vehicle's hardware before final assembly.

How much weight does this save versus the factory hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel. Exact weight savings depend on your baseline, but expect meaningful reduction in front-end unsprung mass. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish to ensure proper paint adhesion.
