Default Roush hood scoop install..?? PLEASE HELP..!!!

I am thinking about getting a Roush hood scoop

and was wondering how hard it is to install..??

is it just 3m tape, align the the scoop and you are ready to go..??

Why I ask .. is I seen a pic of one on EBAY and it looked like it

came with some bolts/nuts...??? is that just for the fake air damn you can't see when it is on

the car...????

ALSO: anybody had problems with them..?? coming off..?? etc. ..???


thanks in advance..

it does have some 3m tape, but you do have to drill seven holes in your hood! it was a little scary but it came with a template that made it a piece of cake. since it's bolted on it makes me rest a little easier, because i travel through some harsh winds at high speeds but i think these scoops look sweet on the stangs!

I guess the best question is do you have to drill holes in the hood..??

or is it just 3M tape holding it on...??

thanks in advance

i ordered mine direct from roush painted and all it was $270 after shipping and it was pretty easy to install it right, the biggest problem for me was getting all those damn fasteners out to remove the insulation under the hood!
