Do I need hood pins for this conversion hood?

Yes. Hood pins are required for secure fitment. This panel uses factory latch points but benefits from additional bracing at the front corners, especially during highway driving. Verify your pin diameter against the existing hood assembly before ordering pins separately.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. The conversion hood retains factory mounting points and is designed to bolt directly to OEM latches and hinges without modification. No drilling or hinge adjustment is necessary for installation.

How does FRP weight compare to my current hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than factory steel, which improves front-end weight distribution and reduces unsprung mass. The exact weight difference depends on your OEM panel thickness, but expect a noticeable reduction in hood lift effort.
