Hello,
I noticed my hood scoop had a crack in it and the paint is coming off. So I decided to buy a new one, which I received today. However, I noticed there is a slight difference: the old one has screws, holes and attachments while the new one only came with just double-sided tape.
Has anybody seen this before?
Did i get the wrong one?
I saw it on two different websites and they both say its for my 2008 MCS.
How do I install it like that?
Correct, the bakside looks exactly like that.
I think the old one is the original that came with the car.
Am i confused on the terminology? I thought these two were technically the same type of part, just from different vendors.
I am going to try this on the weekend, but i am not sure this will fit on top of the existing one.
If buying a new OEM scoop be very careful. its listed as [primed, ready for paint]. It is no where close to being ready for paint. It is indeed primed but needs to be sanded. Mine had a ridiculous amount of scratches on it. I had hoped the paint would fill them in, but i ended up having sand off all of the paint and the primer in some areas to get all the scratches out.
Yes, you can just place it right over top. I would advise you replace the scoop instead of just covering it though. It will just continue to warp until more of the fasteners fail and your hood scoop falls off.
It looks like you have a 2007-2010. There is a heat shield for hood scoop that was added to the later cars to help prevent the warping. It is a direct fit on the 07-10 cars and ecs carries it.

I'd scrape/sand all the loose stuff off and then clean WELL
....
in general, before applying with tape you want the surface SUPER clean ... no dust, no dirt ... clean up with rubbing alc' .... many times a product that uses double sided tape comes with some 'wipes' to clean the surface ....
you want the tape to find a super smooth and clean surface
Thats the first outmotoring scoop ive seen not on their website. But i wouldn't recommend the heat shield. There have been way too many reports of melted valve covers with that.
i've had that shield on with the stock motor and after my build with the bigger turbo never had a problem!! but each his own and yeah I lost the carbon fiber one on mtts came off going down the highway! racing an Evo! so I just picked up the cheapest one I could find!
