Do I need hood pins with this scoop?

Hood pins are recommended if your vehicle experiences high-speed airflow or aggressive driving. Check your hood's latch system and hinge condition first — this scoop adds minimal weight, but proper hood security depends on your existing setup's condition.

Will this work with my OEM hood latch?

This scoop is designed for universal hood platforms with standard mounting hole patterns. Verify your hood's existing latch and hinge configuration matches common OEM spacing before installation to ensure proper fitment and clearance.

How do I prep this for paint?

Sand and prep the surface with appropriate grit to remove the primer layer and create adhesion for your topcoat. Apply a clean finish coat once prepped. Refer to your paint supplier's prep and application guide for best results with your chosen system.
