Default Question about GT/CS side scoop install

has anyone done this? did you just use 3m tape? or bolt it in as well?

Hi,
There was no way i was going to make holes in the quarter panels, I used the factory 3m tape but added multiple layers of 3m tape at the locations where the fasteners would be and very (very) lightly scuffed contact areas with a fine scotch brite pad, cleaned areas
with solvent and installed the scoops, just make sure you align them correctly,

they have been on there for two years and no issues ,no way these are coming off,
remember, all other aftermarket scoops go on with 3m tape,

I believe you have to drill the metal for the Cali Special. Get the once from Cervini and install them when the temp is 75 or higher. Also have them paint them for you. I have my side scoops from them and haven't installed them cause it has been less than 75. This is so the 3m tape sticks good.

3M tape, when properly installed, will hold solid for as long as you own the vehicle. Unfortunately, most people don't follow the instructions to the letter.

I am getting ready to order my OEM scoops. How much do they charge from ford? According to fordaccessoriesstore.com they are $178 plus a $60 install fee. Is that per scoop? When I do install them I am going to drill because I do not ever plan on removing them and they are OEM so it will not affect resale value.
