Do I need hood pins with this scoop?

Hood pins are not required by the scoop itself, but verify your vehicle's OEM hood latch and hinge condition before installing any hood-mounted component. If your hood has play or loose hinges, address those first to ensure the scoop sits flush and doesn't flex during driving.

Will this work with my OEM hood latch?

This scoop mounts to the hood surface and does not interfere with latch mechanisms. Before installation, confirm your hood's mounting points align with the scoop base, and test the latch engagement with the scoop in place to ensure smooth operation.

How much does FRP weigh compared to an OEM steel hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, which reduces unsprung weight and improves handling response. The exact weight difference depends on your vehicle's original hood — compare the scoop weight to your factory hood spec sheet for your specific model.
