Default Lower scoops... help needed

Hello

I am looking to put a set of the lower quarter panel scoops on. Currently I am looking at the cervinis but I am concerned that they my fly off. do they just 3M on or do you have to drill(I HATE THAT THOUGHT)


I also like the Xenon scoops that contour around the wheel well and come to a point


any thoughts or pics would be helpful


thanks[/align]

great guys they will take care of you I also got the trunk mat from them

back to the question on hand has any one had problems with the open style cervinis scoops not staying put? All the others have a closed off front scoop where these ones create a nice cavity for wind to collect and work them lose but they do have the REAL appearance[/align]
thanks[/align]

I have the Cervinis and there stuck on good. No problems with different speeds. Make sure you clean the area very good were the 3M tape will stick. (car and scoop) I cleaned the car paint with professionalwax remover from an auto paint supplier and clean 10 times. This is normal amount of times when applying stripes etc. Just follow directions with the scoops.
Oh and make sure the paint on scoops is really dry because you'll push hard to make sure all the tape is stuck to the car. I let mine dry a week before installing on car. Easy way to make sure stuck all around isin look inside the scoop for daylight. That tape really sticks, so it's a one shot deal. Practice a few time without tape to see how you'll do it. I have the top edge about 1/8 inch down from body edge and the front edges the same 1/8 from the quarter door seemedge. Good Luck.

I thought about those scoops too but I like the Cervinis cause it keeps the same original lines. Plus the option is still left for C-stripes.

Are those the same scoops as on the CS6? They have very similar lines. I really like those ones too. I can't decide.
