Side scoops..
#2
#3
I just installed the GT/CS side scoops. There is no fix aside form removing them and reinstalling new tape. The original 3M tape probably didn't adhere well.

I'm on my 3rd one on the passenger side. I'll be picking it up tonight and I'll already talked to the Body shop and they told me that it is still a little gap toward the bottom. I'll have it repaired now by 2 different dealers. I'll see tonight how bad it is.
also there was a snow storm last night and the streets will be covered in snow and salt.
But I don't want it to sit outside at the Dealer so I'll drive it home and put it in the garage and wash it when I can.

Back from the Dealer and have to show the Body Shop Manage what gap I was talking about. I can push in the top back corner of the scoop a good 1/4" . He couldn't believe his eyes and says the cold weather must have loosing it . He promise to fix it in the spring when I bring it back
Oh well the dents on the hood are gone and the paint doesn't look to bad.

Also added the K&N intake, and custom tune by Doug @ Bamatunes. Both help with the sound and performance.

But back to the tread.... what time of year did you get your car? Mine was built in the summer, I think the tape has a better chance of sticking than if it was done in a warmer time. I have worked with the 3M tape, and it seams like there are some days it will stick to anything and other days it just falls off everything.

IMHO temp has a lot to do with it.

Just got back from the dealer. They are saying the clip on the scoop is loose and it needs to be tightened. So I have to bring it back because they have to loosen the side panel of the car to get to it.

FYI... There are no clips. They are held on with 3M tape and plastic stip bolts that connect to plastic anchors. Bolts/anchors do no actually hold the scoops and are basically there as guides and to be in compliance with DOT standards. If the scoops are lifting off, then the 3M tape is failing. I would definitely not let them lossen a side panel... What are they talking about... side panel
? You mean side scoop?

We got our car in August in 100+ weather and our side scoop on the passenger side didn't stick. We made the dealer order and new one and replace it. Haven't had any problems since with that!
