Hard to answer, but I would assume the tape is subject to similar heat with the engine heating the hood and the sun beating down on the hood in August anyway. I don't think it would really be affected. That 3M stuff is really really tough so long as the paint was super clean and they used adhesion promotor.

Besides, there should be screws to hold a hood scoop...

I'm just afraid that the intense heat coming up to the hood scoop might heat up the 3M tape making it less secure.. thoughts?

No need for the cutting and engineering, cuz Trufiber has already made this hood for you: http://trufiber.com/p-93-cobra-roads...-air-hood.aspx
