Are hood pins required for this panel?

Yes. This FRP hood requires hood pins for safe highway use. Pins lock the hood down and prevent it from lifting at speed. Install them at the factory pin locations on the hood and matching points on the core support.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The hood is designed with factory mounting points that align with OEM latch and hinge hardware. No modifications to your existing hardware are needed — bolt it down and you're ready to go.

How much weight does this hood save versus the original?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and handling balance. The exact weight savings depends on your baseline; compare your original hood to this panel once it arrives if exact figures matter for your build.
