Re: hood scoop Reply #3 – October 20, 2004, 11:09:30 PM thanks for the picture. I purchased one on ebay last year and just wondering how easy they are to line up with the body lines and bolt on. Quote Selected

Re: hood scoop Reply #6 – October 22, 2004, 02:23:43 PM I haven't figured out exatly where I am going drill yet. I figure what I will probably do is make a template and use some of the lines on the hood to try and center it and put it back a few inches from the end of the hood. Did you get one of the original hood scoops? I ended up buying an aftermarket one. Once the car is done I think the hood scoop and spoiler will really make the car look a lot more aggressive. What year XR7 do you have?Jim Quote Selected
Re: hood scoop Reply #7 – October 22, 2004, 04:22:31 PM I have one of the original ones, bought it off of ebay awhile back. It's down to the primer, but still has all the studs. I will probably make a template also and decide what color to paint it. I have a white 1988 XR-7, I thought about painting the scoop flat black like the old Cougar Eliminators but I don't know yet.

Re: hood scoop Reply #8 – October 22, 2004, 04:27:41 PM I like the idea of painting the scoop black. Mine will be painted black along with the spoiler and the car when repainted will be a bright blue. I'm leaning towards the bright blue that they use on the PT Cruiser.Jim Quote Selected
Re: hood scoop Reply #9 – October 25, 2004, 11:02:48 AM I have that hood scoop on my '91. Like the looks of them.easy to bolt on. I just lined mine up, walked around and made sure it was near centered and marked the holes to drill. With out measruing I am off 1/8 of an inch to the one side. Quote Selected

Re: hood scoop Reply #12 – October 26, 2004, 07:58:27 AM I saw an 86 bird with the old Cobra Jet hood scoop that the 68-70 Mustangs use. It looked cool. I plan on getting either the CJ style or the Boss 429 style scoop. I've seen them for around $40 in ads in the Mustang magazines.http://www.cardomain.com/id/dogcharmer69 Quote Selected
