Do I need hood pins with this scoop?

Hood pins are not required for the scoop itself, but your vehicle may already use them or your build plan may call for them. Check your hood's latch and hinge condition — if either shows wear, pins add insurance against hood flutter at highway speeds, especially with a scoop that increases airflow over the bonnet.

Will this scoop work with my factory hood latch?

This scoop is designed as a direct bolt-on to most hood configurations. Before installation, verify that your existing hood latch clears the scoop base and that mounting hole locations align with your hood's panel structure. If your hood has been modified or repaired, test-fit the scoop to confirm positive latch engagement.

How much weight does FRP save compared to OEM?

FRP is significantly lighter than factory steel hoods, reducing unsprung weight at the front of your vehicle. The actual weight savings depends on your vehicle's original hood panel — consult your service manual or weigh both panels directly for your specific build.
