Default 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.

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

yeah those arent fun to install i still have scars on my arms from installing the ones on my saleen replica 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 *** bolts just thinking about it is making pissed off all over again

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.
