My side scoop flew off!
 
Was driving down I-495 from Baltimore and heard a loud POP! I looked in my rear view mirror and saw my passenger side scoop barely miss the car behind me. SMH...I don't think Cervini's sell one scoop pre-painted but I'm going to call them later today to check.

Which is why I wouldn't use the Cervini's. Anything with an opening with nowhere for the air to exit is bound to have problems if it's only held on by 3M tape.

I installed my louvers 3 years ago and have never had an issue. I waited for a ht day to put mine on and I still used a blow dryer

Now just drive around really fast until the other side breaks loose and flies away, problem solved.

I'm sad to say I thought the same thing and knew at the time someone that saw it happen thought so too. I'm just going to remove the other scoop and call it a day, not worth spending the money.

You (everyone) have to be very careful and follow the instructions for a proper install with 3M tape. The surface prep and cure time/temp are 95% of a proper install.

I've done more 140+ mph runs with my scoops with no problems. It's all in the prep.

Old pic before scoops installed. :-)

Side scoops are stoopid. Take notes from the GT500. No non functional anything anywhere (except maybe the rear "diffuser")

I agree

Ford is trying to get their act together and we deserve functional!
