Do I need hood pins with this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the panel during driving and prevent flex at highway speeds. Install them on both sides of the hood at the factory pin locations.

Will this hood work with my OEM latch and hinge?

Yes. This hood is designed to bolt directly to your factory latch and hinge assembly without modification. Alignment is straightforward since the mounting points match the original equipment.

How much weight does FRP save compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel. The exact weight savings depends on your baseline, but the material reduction is noticeable enough to improve front-end response and brake performance over time.
