Are hood pins required with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required. Plan your latch and pin setup based on your current latch hardware and how tightly you want the hood secured during driving or track use.

Will this hood work with my factory latches and hinges?

This hood mounts to factory hinge points. Verify that your existing latches align with the hood cutout before finalizing installation; minor adjustment to latch position may be needed depending on your specific setup.

How much lighter is this compared to the original hood?

FRP hoods deliver a meaningful weight reduction over OEM steel. The exact difference depends on your baseline; weigh both pieces if precise data matters for your build target.
