Do I need hood pins for this panel?

Yes, hood pins are required. They secure the lighter FRP panel during high-speed driving and are essential for safety. Verify your existing latch alignment with the hood vents before installation to ensure proper fitment and function.

Will this work with my factory hood latch and hinges?

This hood mounts to factory hinge points. Check your latch clearance with the NBR Concept venting—the sculpted profile may require minor adjustment to your existing latch geometry. Measure from the hinge pin to the latch hook on your current hood and compare before ordering.

How much lighter is FRP compared to the OEM hood?

FRP hoods are significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces front-end weight and improves handling. The exact weight savings depends on your factory hood, but the material difference is substantial for performance-oriented builds.
