Do I need hood pins for this cowl hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for proper installation and retention. The raised cowl design benefits from pinned mounting to prevent hood flutter at speed and ensure secure fitment during spirited driving.

Will this hood work with my original latch and hinges?

This hood uses factory mounting points, so your original hinges and latch mechanism will function as designed. Verify your hinge condition and adjust the latch strike if needed to ensure even panel gaps once installed.

How much does the FRP cowl hood weigh compared to the factory hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front of the vehicle. For exact weight comparison with your factory hood, consult your service manual for OEM specifications, then reference the panel specifications once you receive your hood.
