How did you install your hood scoop?



This picture doesn't really do it justice (crappy cheap camera).

It took longer than I thought it would, but it was only because of the way I do things. Measure and check about ten times before drilling or cutting. This is a fiberglass scoop sold by Mopars by Crane. Very nice quality, but we had to modify the leading edge slightly to get it to fit tighter over the ridge running down the center of Aaron's Dart Sport hood. A flat hood, like some Dusters I've seen, would have been OK.

We wound up drilling 7/32" holes through the hood and 5/32" holes up through the scoop's flange (tucked up underneath out of sight). We placed a little dab of silicone on each hole, top and bottom, then fastened the scoop down with #12 stainless sheet metal screws. Much easier than trying to use bolts/nuts and cheaper than rivets (don't have a rivet gun).

I'll try to get some better pics posted someday, but you get the idea.

Now, Aaron wants a go-wing...
