Mike,
Easy install. Just take your time, measure 4 times, drill once. Oh, and I personally did not, nor would I, use a center punch as instructed. I used a very sharp awl to mark the drill spots. The hood is very flimsy. The Roush template is excellent, so you should have no problem.

+1...Can't say it different, just louder...like mlcrycc said T-A-K-E Y-O-U-R T-I-M-E and take some pills to calm you down after your drill that first hole in your perfectly looking hood...by the way...have a plan to wipe out the metal shavings you will have after your remove the template....air dryer, etc will work....

 

Excellent advice....I used a can of the compressed air that is normally used for computer keyboards, etc. worked great. Also, make sure you cover your engine bay with a blanket or something prior to drilling.......I know, I know, seems way obvious, but........

That would work too, don't know why I did not think of that...well maybe because I was still recovering from drilling SEVEN holes into my hood. I think I spent more time picking up those little, tiny, pain on the @ss shavings than mounting the scoop. Imagine how tough it was since my the hood is black....

 

Thanks for the help!

The install went real good. The templet made the job easier. I give Roush two thumbs up for fit and finish of the hood scoop.

I wish all of the Mustang aftermarket suppliers would follow Roush's example.
