Default 01-04 GT Hood Scoop Istall on 00 v6

Ok so i bought a red 04 mustang hood scoop of a gt that was wrecked in a rear end collision so it cost me 100 shipped from mps auto salvage so im going to get it painted metallic silver to match but my question is since the 99-01 hoods don't have the pre-drilled holes whats the best way to go about installing this, i have seen a bunch of install diagrams but non for a 99 or 00, so could someone help me out and let me know what the best way to go about doing this would be, i know it has 11 holes but what is aligned where? also i bought the matte black hood decal from american muscle i can't wait to get that on, it will make the hood look so sick with my mach 1 chin spoiler and new gt fog lights!! thanks for all the help guys, love this forum!!

The rear two holes have little circles in the underside of the hood. what i did was take a piece of cardboard and press the bolts down into it so they left holes. this made a drilling template for the hood. double check it all lines up with the under section of the hood and start drilling. good luck!

I did the decal first...months before. But it's easier to do the scoop first, since you won't have do to any cutting

Look at the install instructions on American Muscle. It's meant to meet the contours of the GT's hood scoop, so as long as you just make it touch the scoop it fits perfectly.
