PM-12-A(GT/CS Side Scoops)
My GT/CS Side scoops came in today. I dry fitted them and they look good. Now I have to get them painted. KC hooked me up with some posters, calender, and some other nice gifts. THANKS KC! You da man
. I'm still debating on drilling. Leaning torward...NO. A template is supplied if you decide to drill. The instructions state that PM-12-A should be applied to drilled holes. What's PM-12-A?
...some type of rust prohibitive? Where can you buy it? Is this just a Ford product, or available under another name?
BTW, The attached tape definitely doesn't look like it'll hold. The area where the tape is attached to the scoops is too recessed. The car surface will not have enough contact area IMO. Looks like I'll be buying some thicker 3M regardless of whether I decide to drill or not. I don't know, should I drill???????
Thanks again KC

I received mine from KC on the weekend. They are off to my painter on Friday. Personally I plan to drill the holes. Its a piece of mind confidence factor. The tape is more subject to failure. My Roush hood scoop is screwed and glued as is my CDC duck tail spoiler. Why do you think so many of these body pieces are taped AND mechanically fastened? Is loosing a side scoop worth the risk for the extra effort to do it right?
I am pretty sure the PM-12-1 is a primer or surface protectant. Will use it or something like it.
