yours was 01 right. hmm my 01 shattered and my 04 went crispy and cracked ( definately not metal) when he backed on top of my hood. so i dunno why yours was metal.. thats odd for ford to do that.. they're cheap haha.

no i had a 2000, when I was hit we sanded it down and hammered it out so it was def metal. It may have been aftermarket though I got the car with 50k miles on it

Definately new edge stock hoods 100% fiberglass. The 2000, I have one, if yours was metal someone for some reason bought a metal hood = dumb.

yeah, i would say no to hood pins, unless needed. i am thinking of putting them on my stock hood. and not just in front, at all 4 corners, so i can save weight by getting ride of the prop rod, hood latch, and hinges.

but i am also a little special. lol
