Will this scoop work with my factory hood latches and hinges?

Yes. This scoop is engineered around OEM mounting points, so it pairs directly with your factory hood hardware without modification. Your existing latches and hinges remain fully functional.

Do I need hood pins with this scoop?

Hood pins are optional. If you run the factory latches, no pins are required. Many owners add pins for track use or added security at high speeds — that choice is yours based on your driving style.

How does FRP compare to a factory hood in terms of weight?

FRP is significantly lighter than OEM steel. This reduces unsprung weight at the front of the vehicle, improving suspension response and front-end geometry over factory trim.
