Ok, so I put the scoops on backwards. And they really do work . They keep the engine about an average of 12 degrees cooler . Working on getting even more hot air to leave....

Yes I am going to rivet those on eventually. I knew that the tape wouldn't last forever. But all things come in time

BUT h used the louvered type with many openings.. cut them out looked like with a dremel.. than took a hole saw(1'' looked like.. could of been bigger) and cut the same number of holes into the hood.. faced the louvers backwards.. and was on both sides wish i had a camera with me : ( but it looked really nice..

Yeah, this isn't the same place i got it. But I found this site which is almost the same.

My scoops cost 62.95+5 bucks for shipping= 67.95 overall.
Just remember to drill em' if you want functional scoops.

Here's the site I found:

Are you planning on cutting out the whole scoop? It would be the best for air flow..
