Update


I finally got around to the hood scoop a couple weeks ago. Removed it from the hood, cleaned off residual goo on all surfaces, sanded down the leading edge of the scoop and applied a continuous strip of 3M tape all the way around.
I was a little concerned the tape would be visible but it is barely percievable and makes for a much better contact to the hood.
I also applied some tape along the entire length of the black grill part as it was not supported.
So far so good, went for a brief highway drive to see if there was any lifting of the front part of the scoop with a headwind and it seems ok.
I`ll call it mission accomplished if it holds up during my trip to Virginia next week.

I suppose having the wife or a friend crawl out while on 401 to see if it was lifting would be frowned upon

Might work not too bad if you've got a convertible. OPP doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor about anything.

If I had to do it all over again I would go the CDC shaker route.When I got our 05 all that was available was this one from CDC, and although it looks good and the fit was excellent I much prefer the shaker.

Damn it! Fine. Where do you park your car at night?

That hood is pretty much the look I want.
