All hoods and hood accessories offered by Aero Function are designed as aftermarket accessories intended exclusively for off-road and show use. Aero Function assumes no responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from the use of these products. Aero Function hoods are often lighter than stock hoods and may feature vented designs, which can cause additional aerodynamic lift at high speeds. As a result, hood pins or AeroCatch latches are mandatory to ensure safety, as standard hood latches may not provide sufficient security.
Due to the nature of fiberglass and the manufacturing processes involved, Aero Function hoods are not “direct bolt-on” parts and often require significant preparation, such as sanding, cutting, shaving, and filling gaps. Additional fiberglass reinforcement may be necessary in some areas. Drilling holes for mounting, custom fitting adjustments, and modifications like drilling holes for windshield washer nozzles and tubing using a rotary tool may be required. It's important to note that not all original components, such as washer nozzles and tubing, may be transferable to the Aero Function hood depending on its design, so modifications or replacements may be needed.
Hood Latch Adjustments
Aero Function hoods typically require repositioning the hood latch to ensure proper alignment and closure. This involves carefully adjusting the latch, making small tweaks to move it up/down or forward/back until the striker catches securely. Given that fiberglass hoods may have slight variations or warping, additional fitting, such as enlarging mounting holes or using shims, is often required for proper alignment. Adjustments to or removal of hood bump stops may also be necessary for proper fitment.
Hood Accessories: Scoops and Other Modifications
Aero Function also offers various hood accessories, including scoops, which can enhance the performance and appearance of your vehicle. Attaching a hood scoop typically requires drilling holes in the hood for mounting, as well as using bolts or adhesive, depending on the style of the scoop. When installing hood scoops on fiberglass hoods, it may be necessary to add fiberglass reinforcement around the mounting area to ensure the scoop is securely fastened and properly aligned. Careful measurement and fitting are essential to prevent leaks and to maintain the structural integrity of the hood.
For optimal results, Aero Function strongly recommends professional installation by a custom shop experienced in handling fiberglass components and hood accessories, as traditional auto repair shops may lack the necessary expertise for these modifications.

Aero Function hoods, hood accessories, and other products are strictly designed for off-road and show use. Due to stringent Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, many of these products, including hoods and hood scoops, are not street legal.
