Do these scoops require hood pins or latch reinforcement?

These scoops mount to the hood surface via adhesive or fasteners and do not affect your existing hood latch or hinge system. Verify your hood's latch compatibility with added weight distribution by consulting your vehicle's service manual.

What prep work is needed before finishing?

Sand the FRP surface with standard automotive prep grit, then clean thoroughly before applying primer and your chosen topcoat. This ensures proper paint adhesion and a smooth final finish.

Will these scoops restrict airflow to my engine bay?

These are design-focused vents rather than high-flow intake ducts. For functional cooling benefits, ensure your engine bay ventilation and intake system are independently optimized. The scoops add visual interest while allowing passive air circulation.
