Do I need hood pins with this hood?

Yes, hood pins are required for secure closure and to handle the aerodynamic forces of highway driving. They anchor the hood at the front corners and prevent lift at speed. Choose pins that match your truck's hood gap width.

Will this hood work with my factory latch and hinges?

Yes. This hood is designed to mount directly to your truck's existing factory latch and hinge assembly. No modifications to the hinge bracket or latch mechanism are needed — bolt directly to the mounting points.

How does the weight compare to my original hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than factory steel, which improves front-end response and reduces unsprung mass. The reduced weight also makes installation easier for a single person. Prep the mating surface and seal all edges to prevent moisture penetration in the FRP.
