Side Scoops came
 
The side-scoops came in today, and I'm kinda confused with the whole thing. Both the scoops, the mesh grills and all the nuts and bolts came, but not any instructions. I don't know how they're gonna stay on the car honostly, and I know that when I take it to the body shop-- the first thing they're going to ask me is how to assemble it. Any suggestions?

(just a guess) but when you take the factory ones off, the new scoops should mount to the factory holes that are there?

maybe-- sometimes the obvious answer is the right one, but it still doesn't explain how the mesh grill is supposed to be attached. I don't know, I'll take it down to the body shop and see what they say.

Miles if you dont atleast install those yourself......I'm gonna stick my foot up your ass. I think the mest goes behind, but im not sure.

i am guessing here but the bolts might hold the mesh to the side scoops, and the side scoops will attach using the old hardware from your old scoops, here is a link to taking them off...http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/fcar/scoops.htm

im sure the mesh just slides behind the panel then u just screw em into the existing side scoop holes..

yeah those arent fun to install :mad: i still have scars on my arms from installing the ones on my saleen replica:mad: the mesh just rests behind the scoops and the three little bolts hold the scoop on...you have to take the rear interior panel out and fit your arm in a hole the size of a god damn soda can and try and tighten the little tiny ass bolts:nono: just thinking about it is making pissed off all over again:nono:

PITA to install. Saleen doesnt believe in instructions. Oh, and wait until you get your bumper..... plenty or prep work before paint.

I was refering to the prep work that the painter has to do before painting. Yeah, the actual install of the bumper is just re-using the brackets from the original bumper.

Milos you bought the side scoops before you bought your saleen spoiler?, I should kick you in the face.

whitethunder46 02-09-2006 09:56 AM

I dont got the spoiler yet either. My 3-piece will be here in summer

SpinMedia 02-09-2006 02:36 PM

It looks wierd with the saleen rear bumper and no spoiler, makes your stang look like it has a huge ****ing ass.
