How do I install the ARC scoop???

Postby gumbyy » Sat Aug 30, 2008 2:23 pm

Hey Fellas,

I bought an ARC scoop from one of the members here and am having trouble fitting it. Has anybody found that fitting it even without any adhesive to 'see how it looks' scratches the SHIT out of the paint? Is that normal? I've tried using double sided tape but its so hard to get into place and in the end it just doesn't fit well, especially the ends. To those of you who have an ARC scoop, does it sit flush? What did you use to stick it on? Anybody in Sydney kind enough to help me fit it? :wink:

Its so frustrating!

It'll scratch due to the way it wedges on. You'll most likely respray that part of the bonnet if you take it off anyway.

I use that black tar stuff that panelbeaters use. :)
