Does this scoop require hood pins or latches?

This scoop bolts to your factory hood at the OEM mounting points — your stock hood latch and hinges handle everything. No additional pins or reinforcement needed unless you're running an aftermarket hood.

Will water get inside during rain?

The scoop design channels water away from engine bay entry points. That said, test-fit first to confirm water sealing at your climate; if you're in heavy rain areas, silicone seal around the base adds insurance.

How much weight does this add compared to stock?

Hard panel construction keeps it light — measurable but minimal added weight compared to your OEM hood. If weight savings is critical, confirm exact specs with support before purchase.
