He thinks he's funny....
Since we were not all so forward thinking and intelligent enough to purchase the wondrous Mach 1 and its superior parts, have you considered gluing the darn things on? ... Eventually I took the tape off the front edge of it and gingerly applied some of whatever I decided to use...

I tried to give a helpful answer based on similar past experience. You should try it sometime. Not remembering exactly which adhesive that I used is irrelevant. He can research and choose an adhesive if he is not already familiar with them, as I did then. And yes, I think it's better than "don't worry you'll be dead soon anyway" and " leave them off and you'll lower your CD by a decimal percentage and go faster."

Yep. He's as funny as a case of the clap and just about as useful.
I'd go back with a stock scoop and hit up a body shop for the clips if the new ones don't come with them.

I lost interest after, "Me and my buddy" and stopped reading after the Volkswagen GTI walked 
away from you at 130MPH.
Too bad you got the cheap blow-off GT scoops. My Mach 1 side scoops stay on at 150MPH.
You took off the other scoop "because I don't want to look weird with 1 only?" Who the heck can see both sides of your car at the same time???
I wouldn't worry about your side scoop blowing off. If you're doing 130MPH+ on the street every week, you'll be dead before UPS delivers the new scoop.

Thanks for your great responses, sorry i haven't been here in a week. Anyways, i decided to be scoop-less because |racecar|. Yaah it looks ugly, but i did not buy a mustang for its looks, id buy BMW for looks. I am still looking around Ebay for scoops but all they have is the Open style ones and I only like Premium GT ones. Anyways thank you guys, if i will come up with something creative i will let you guys know

Its not even that, i want to be different than other people, so what i am going to do is save up some money over winter and take the car to a body shop, they will do some magic to it. Just the design of scoops in our mustang is stupid and i can tell you why. because all scoops are sliding backwards to take off, you have a serious force of wind pushing on these scoops at 130mph. SO technically scoops only held on 3 clips.
I was thinking about double side tape, and my front lip is doing a great job on that double side tape. So maybe that can be an option.
