RE: Side Scoops
I like the side scoops that came on my GT/CS.....They are just like the ones on my 03' GT. I am having a hard time deciding what hood scoop to go with. I am leaning towards the Roush scoop though.

RE: Side Scoops
I don't have a clear, close-uppic of my side scoops also but here are my louvers. Both were bought from hubcapsplus.com and were painted to match perfect. The 2nd pic is both but I'm not sure if you can see the scoops with any detail. The key to them staying put is in the surface preperation:

RE: Side Scoops
I have had no problems with my Cervini scoops (knock on wood). I do think the issue is a preparation issue though. I let mine sit for over 24 hours on the car without driving it. So far... no problems.

RE: Side Scoops
Hey thanks for being a dick. I was stating my experiences, as well as the information given to me by my bodyguy, with more than 40 years experience. Mine didn't curve exactly with the body either. I was told to put them in the sun for an hour. Did that, and they were very pliable and fit perfectly. I agree it sounds like you haven't had the best customer service. But you're putting the entire blame on the company, and the entire blame does not fall with them. Even if they didn't fit properly, there is plenty of surface area touching the car to be held on. Properly prepped parts being held on with 3M tape do not need much surface area of contact to withstand 100+MPH. Bottom line. I've said my piece and I'm moving on.

I'm glad you don't know what you're talking about since the scoops didn't sit flush. It was 3m tape as provided by Cervini's and the paint was prepped correctly. Please don't act like you know what you're talking about because one of your scoops didn't fly off due to poor fitment. For your information I called them about this and they said it was normal which was BS.

I've had the Cervinis scoops up and down the track many times without issue. The surfaces must be prepped properly, and 3M quality tape must be used. This was a prep issue, not Cervini's issue.

As for the hood scoop, I'd go with the factory one as it has the factory matching style honeycomb.
