Will this scoop require hood pins?

Hood pins are recommended if you plan extended highway driving or frequent track use. For street-only use, the assembly's weight and mounting design typically hold securely without them, but adding pins is a straightforward upgrade that adds peace of mind.

Do the latch and hinges need any modification?

Stock latches and hinges work with this scoop design. Before assembly, ensure your hood closes smoothly with the added component in place. Minor hinge adjustment may be necessary depending on hood condition, but no drilling or cutting is required.

How does the weight compare to an OEM steel hood scoop?

FRP is significantly lighter than steel, which means less strain on hinges and latches. This also improves front-end weight distribution if that's part of your build strategy. The reduced mass is one of the key advantages of composite construction.
