Will these vents work with my OEM hood latch and hinges?

Yes. These scoops are designed to bolt directly to your existing hood without interfering with factory latch or hinge operation. Verify your mounting points align with the scoop's fastener holes before assembly.

Do I need hood pins with these vents?

Hood pins are optional and depend on your driving style and track use. Stock latches handle these FRP vents securely for street driving. For high-speed or track duty, hood pins add peace of mind and prevent hood flutter under aerodynamic load.

How do I prep and finish the FRP before installation?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit, wipe clean, and apply your chosen base coat and clear coat. Follow your paint supplier's prep and application guidelines. Once cured, bolt the finished scoops to your hood and verify fitment before final fastening.
