Do I need hood pins or latches to secure this scoop?

Hood pins are not required for this scoop fitment — the three-piece assembly is designed to integrate with your OEM hood latch system. Verify that your existing hood hinges and latch hardware are in good condition before installation, as worn latches may need service to maintain proper closure.

Will this fit my OEM hood, or do I need a new hood?

This scoop mounts to your factory hood. Before ordering, confirm that your hood is in good condition and that the mounting surface is flat and free of dents or damage. If you plan to install multiple exterior pieces (fenders, bumpers, etc.), measure hood-to-fender panel gaps to ensure alignment across all components.

What preparation does the FRP need before painting?

Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish. Because this arrives in raw FRP condition, you'll want to inspect for any minor imperfections, address them with appropriate filler if needed, and follow standard pre-paint surface preparation. Your paint supplier can recommend the best primer and topcoat system for FRP substrates.
