Shoot, if they have bolts then I'm defintely not messing with them.

For all of you have don't have the scoops yet think they look great, try washing your car when you have the side scoops on. I always get the car wash/dried and then they drip... and drip... and drip!!

They don't look particularly bad, but they are a hassle to dry and the little honey comb patter on the front looks really bad if you don't clean that out as well.

I really like the clean sided look and would just rather not have the hassle of the scoops!

I just removed mine a few weeks ago. I have the Xeonon scoops, and at the back point it was starting to stick out and look bad. After i took them off, I stared at it for awhile and have decided that I like it without the side scoops.

So now I just have to get around to sell mine. They are painted Windveil Blue.
