Do I need hood pins with this scoop?

Hood pins are not required by the scoop itself, but check your vehicle's hood latches and hinge condition. If your OEM latch or hinges show wear, pins are a smart safety add. This scoop does not modify latch or hinge mounting points.

Will this scoop fit my existing hood latch and hinges?

The scoop mounts to the hood surface and does not interfere with latch or hinge operation. Verify your hood is straight and free of damage before installation — a warped hood may cause uneven scoop seating.

How much lighter is FRP compared to a stock steel hood?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front of the vehicle. This translates to improved handling response and reduced nose lift under hard acceleration.
