I recently purchased the Cervini's Ram Air Hood Part #1211 for my 2014 GT. It did not come with screen for the ram air vents and there isn't any mounting holes or brackets. Has anyone made and installed their own? How did you attach them to the hood? Epoxy? Screws? Thanks.
I don't know how they put the "mesh" in there. I prefer them wide open, no wind
resistance or turbulence, should they be functional for intake and not providing
air-flow for venting. Mine has a scoop, I didn't put it here, and had it been double
sided taped on, I would have removed it. Hood scoops are worthless if they're not
putting air into the intake, that's what they were designed for from the start. So,
having them on there without function, makes the car less aerodynamic for no
reason except to look pretty.
Like the dumb side scoops, they're supposed to be for cooling the brakes,
now they're just there to put a drag on the car... I am amazed that the
Mustang still gets these side body and 1/4 window scoops. Not to be
confused with louvers, that's a universal thing, but the scooping on the sides
and rear 1/4 windows has always been a Mustang thing.
Anyway, the scoops:
They're made to be open, with no screen or mesh. If you saw one with it, then
it was added. It has to be carefully cut, and placed inside the scoop(s). You
can buy it in ABS honeycomb too, but this is more precise. Actually, the easiest
way would be to cut the stainless or aluminum mesh a little bigger than the opening
of the scoop then fold the ends in (folded ends face into the scoop), and push it into
the scoop. You still need something to hold it in place, so you'd place some 3M
double sided tape in spots, which would ugly it up unless you can find something to
make a decent looking border around the front of the mesh, in the color of the hood
so it looks much better. Like, some kind of 1/8" trim with a backing to place in front
of the mesh, all the way around it. This will keep it from falling out. Wind will keep
it pushed in...
There is an AIRBOX mod for some of those kits:
This is NOT the one for this application, but that's a sample.
You can get the "box" for the cone filter, with the open top, so that when you close the hood, it seals
on that, so it is contained, thus all the intake air will be from the two front scoops when the hood is
closed.

Same kit I put on my wifes 05 gt, using the Cervini 67 ram air hood. I do think I will need to put hood pins on as there is a lot of movement in the hood at highway speeds.

Have you adjusted the rubber stops?
Turn them counter clockwise to raise them upward so the hood will sit on
those when closed. If needed, you may need to stick on a rubber piece with
adhesive backing on the hood so it will hit the stops. I had a 2006 HHR,
the hood was bent a little from a previous minor front end collision. The
bump stop on the driver side would not come up high enough without coming
out. So, I put a 1/2" rubber pad on the landing spot on the hood so the two
would mate up. Stopped the vibrations from that side.
