    Not a fan

    Of these one size fits all. A few of the other photos appear to show poorly fitting on the hoods. However you seem to have done a really good job of getting a tight fit to the hood even with trimming required so good job

    Hi thanks

    Im actually going to be wrapping my hood inlay with the
    3m 3D carbon vinly next week, and after I do that Ill
    prob have the scoop painted semi flat black and then
    put it on for a finished look.
    Keep you posted.
    It wasnt hard to cut with a small hi speed cutting wheel

    Cutting is easy cutting so it fits is where it gets difficult

    What about getting the scoop wrapped in with it? Then open up the "intake" part of it or glue in some bright finish mesh. sweet...

    Actually I just made a template off the back of the hood
    curve with posterboard, then used that to do the cut.
    Was pretty easy really and painless.
    But now that I have one already cut, I can use the cut piece
    as a template if I want to mark future scoops before
    shipping them.

    Yeah, thought about wrapping the scoop too or instead of the
    insert, thats defineatly another option.
    Screen mesh would be pretty easy too if you wanted.
