Anyone having troubles with Cervini's upper scoops?

Seems like towards the back of my upper scoops they are starting to curl up a little and pull away from the car. I'm not sure what is causing this but it's bugging the crap out of me. When I'm finished with the car I plan on showing it however if these scoops look like this there is no way I'd show it. Anyone else having problems with these? Also has anyone installed them by screwing them on. I'm not a huge fan of screwing through my car but I also don't want to lose my scoops. I have tested them up to 130 mph and they didn't move.

Cool I have these to

I let mine sit out in the sun for a full week , before I even started to prep them for paint . That way the material was relaxed before I started working with it

they curl because whoever painted your scoops didn't sit them right when they were baked. I had a slight curl on my xenon quarter scoops and to fix that, i went to an auto store, picked up a bottle of 3M trim & emblem glue, and applied that. have had no problems with it since.

I just went to my local auto parts store and picked up some black silcone adhesive. The silcone is water proof and sticks like a S.O.B. Now I have to do my Cervini's spoiler the same way.

Anomalus1 you put 3m glue on them? How would this affect the car if you were to ever take them off?

Stang It do you know what brand adhesive you used?

sorry, glue was a rather broad discription, it's 3M's trim & emblem adhesive (same type used on car emblems). Grab one of 3M's adhesive removers and it'll dissolve the adhesive without damaging the paint or heat it up really hot (it's heat resistant up to a certain degree, don't have it in front of me since i'm at work) and work it like you would when removing the tape.

I chose to use the adhesive since it was easier to apply to the scoop that was already stuck to the car.
