    Hood scoop install, brief how-to

    Here is a quick how to for a FUNCTIONAL hood scoop. I bought a pseudo carbon fiber scoop at Pepboys for about 40 dollars. I got an airsaw from Harbor Freight for 17 dollars. A roll of door edge trim, 9 dollars and thats all you need to get beyond what most already have in their garage.

    Step one, remove insert, its thin fiberglass so easy to cut. Mark the outline for the scoop with a sharpie marker, don't worry it will come off with degrease/409. Drill out a center hole with a 3/8 bit or so. Then drill several holes around the perimeter of the outline so the fiberglass can be cut in small pieces.
