Does this scoop require hood modification or drilling?

No. The Type T design mounts using factory hood attachment points. Verify your existing hood fastener locations before assembly to ensure clean alignment with the scoop base.

What prep work should I do before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with standard automotive abrasives before applying your chosen base coat and clear. This ensures proper paint adhesion and a factory-finish appearance.

Will this scoop obstruct my windshield or wiper clearance?

The Type T profile is designed for driver-side placement without interference to hood operation or wiper sweep. Confirm your specific hood's hinge geometry before final installation if your vehicle has aftermarket hood modifications.
