Hood scoop Installation

I started out by finding a hood scoop off of Ebay...

I paid 175 for mine shipped, then I had to get it painted due to the fact that they don't make GT hood scoops for my color.
First I did some research and found out that the 00 v6 hood and GT hood are the same, except they just slap a hood scoop on the GT. when you take off the cover under the hood of your care there are indents placed for where the hood scoop holes should be drilled....

First take the black covers off so you can take the hood cover off.

Once you get the cover off you can see about the indents I talked about before, there will be two in the back and that is for the back screws on the hood scoop

Once you locate them, wash the top of the hood and make and take a small nail and from under the hood center the nail in one of the back indents, then pound a dent into the top of the hood, just enough so you can see where it from the top the hood. Take some 2" masking tape and tape over the indent and across to the other place you will be drilling. Place the hood scoop on top of the masking tape and mark the hole with a pen on the masking tape then take the nail you used previous and make an indent so that you can see where you need to drill, do this for every hole you drill, the masking tape will help keep the paint from on top of the hood from cracking as you drill. Once you have marked every hole (9 of them) you can start drilling. Drill one at a time and double check your markings once you can fit the hood scoop into the holes. Keep in mind you need to keep the hood scoop centered.
Once you have drilled the holes take off the masking tape and place the hood scoop in place and tighten the bolts you get with the kit, It should fit over the stock grill that is put on. After you are done replace the hood cover make sure you put all of the black caps into place, and then you are done, here is a pic of the finished product.

Tell Hot Rods and Booze about this. Chances are you'll get a "contributer" tag for doing the write up on it.

good job man much appreciated. i heard that sum ppl manage to get templates for theyre hood scoops....i think from the dealer. do u kno anything about this.?

yea, i have heard about them, I didnt get one when i bought mine, but before you buy it doesnt hurt to ask im sure if you get them from the dealer you can but i got mine off ebay and it didnt come with one

yea lol i dont trust myself with drilling holes in my hood without guidance lol

+1 nice write up

I would really appreciate it if someone told me where you can get a template online.:)

LOL honestly guys its not that hard they do have the back hole marks there...

they have dots exactly where were supposed to drill? so the nail was just so we can see where the dot was from the top?

well sort of... see in the 2nd to last pic where im poiinting at the screw... how it has the indent on the hood... there is like a dime size indent where you center it and then drill... so you know where its sopose to be.... its hard to explain but look at the pic/on your car and you will see what im talking about

so its pretty hard to mess up? how long did it take u?

yea... half hour at the most...

this should be a stickey or something. good info.

thas not bad
did u get a gasket or any kind of lining to go inbetween the scoop and the hood? or was it just straight metal to metal. cuz that might cause sum leaks

umm.... not sure what you mean, but the hood is fiberglass ... and the scoop is fiberglass/plastic not really sure but the scoop is tight enough to the hood that if any water gets in it is caught by the cover, neways the holes are under cover of the scoop, just make sure its good and tight down and it should be fine... this is the exact same way ford does it too...

o ur hood is fiberglass?

yea, urs should be too buddy... hard to tell from the outside but im pretty sure cuz mine is stock

lol Wut the hell lol.....since when do mustangs come stock with fiberglass hoods lol....thats pretty cool. is the trunk fiberglass too? cuz it looks like it from the inside

yea it is, i noticed when i moved my spoiler back that it was.

did u move ur spoiler as far back as you could? can i get sum detailed instructions PLEASE lol i dont wanna mess up while drilling. i wanna move it as far back as possible while still keeping all the holes covered by the spoiler

and turkeyboy where didu get ur foglight kit?

I've been thinking about adding the scoop, nice job looks good.

Hey Turk, great job- looks awesome. I saw your scoop in ebay for same price...how much was the paintjob?

Thanks, yea it cost about 50 bucks

where did u get it painted for 50 bucks????

some small town body shop, i was very suprised cuz ford said they could do it for $300

wow....ill be looking for one of those lol

Yeah, the site that I saw that sells them, also " offer a painting service at a Ford body shop for these scoops for $100. The shop can reproduce any Ford color to match your car's paint perfectly! " ...

u got the link?

i cant wait to get a scoop lol

bwahahaahahaha- I knew you were gonna ask ! I cab't link it up for ome reason, but stick this " Item number: 260030725602 " where they ask you on ebay! Let me know how it goes, cause that ones going on mine also!

yea i saw that too, but i did my research before hand and found this guy first so it was cheeper for me to do it by the body shop then having them do it

You guys should def let me know when you get them on so i can see some pix cuz i think it adds so much more to the car!

About how much is it ?

and btw nice job =]

okay never mind my quetion, its too early and i found the price

I'll tell you what. Add a picture of the same size as the other pics of the completed hood scoop and I'll add it to our Tech Articles and How To's. I see the pic in your sig, but I'd like a close up and even a full car shot. ;)

hey Booze i fixed the pix for ya;)

OK, this "how to" is in our Tech article section here >> http://www.mustangforums.com/m_1237927/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#1237927

Thank you kevin, you now have a contributor tag. [sm=smiley20.gif]

If you notice, the tech section has a clean version that can't be posted in, but I have a link to this active thread at the bottom of the clean version.

Just to let you people know, 99-00 hoods are not the same as 01-04 hoods. The little indentures that he points at in the 4th pix do not exist. I know this because I just had one installed yesturday and they had to make holes to make it fit there.

You should be able to make a template outcardboard.First, put the screws and nuts onto the scoop so that they stick out. Then take the scoop and place it on the card board, push hard so that the screws that you went ahead and mounted to the scoop poke in the cardboard. Once you have done this, trace around the scoop and cut it out. You will probably have to cut out for the little honeycomb piece because it won't sit all the way down on the cardboard unless you do. Then just line it up on your hood, mark your holes and drill.

I have a 99 and installed my scoop on Sunday. The install is easy, just make sure you have all holes aligned perfectly.
