Do I need hood pins with this scoop?

Hood pin requirement depends on your vehicle's latch system and how aggressively you drive. If your OEM hood uses a factory latch without pins, this scoop will function the same way. For track use or high-speed driving, verify your vehicle's service manual for recommended hood retention hardware.

Will this scoop work with my vehicle's hood latch and hinge?

This is a universal design that mounts using standard hood fastening points. Before ordering, confirm your hood's existing attachment configuration (latch type and bolt pattern) matches standard universal mounting — check your vehicle's service manual or contact your local dealer with hood specifications.

How much weight does this save compared to a steel hood scoop?

FRP construction is significantly lighter than OEM steel, reducing unsprung weight at the front of the vehicle. The exact weight savings depends on your factory hood's construction. Weigh your OEM scoop before installation to confirm the reduction on your specific setup.
