Default whos fitted a large bonnet scoop?

Hi I was wondering anyone fitted a large bonnet scoop to their impreza?

If so any trouble at high speed? bonnet flex or damage? Did you need to reinforce with aerocatch pins?

Ive heard these scoops can cause issues at high speed?

What exactly do you mean by a large bonnet scoop? Biggest one I know is the blobeye STI one.
Mine has held up until 160mph on the Autobahn, but it does get scary at those speeds as the hood is shaking all over the place.
