ARMORINE Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 so i had my sgt at the dealership to have the hood scoop replaced. the new one came in and was handled so roughly by ups that it cracked the paint. well my dealership gets the bright idea to repain the scoop.... i told them the paint was special it was not silver. they wouldnt listen. so now i have a silver hoodscoop that doesnt match my stripes.... they have contacted shelby and are going to try and get a scoop overnighted. i took my car back and wil ut it back in the shop when they get the scoop. they put the silver one on there and half the rivets arent flush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to find a dealership that had an even halfway decent body shop. If you got the newer stripes, the paint that comes on the new scoop doesn't match. The stripes are lighter and have more shine. I just had my scoop done and the paint had to be mixed to match. Also, have them paint the stripe on it and then clear coat. Then the scopp will match the stripes and look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump_breaker Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 You know, these scoops have been such a fiasco from the beginning I would be surprised if SAI didn't nix them from all cars from now on! Frankly I like the deep draw hood on the Terlingua.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matts Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I think I'm going to just buy the CS6 hood and send the stock hood to have signed. I've been hearing way to much heart ache over the scoop and I don't even have the car yet. So yeah my next big investment is definitely the CS6 hood.

ARMORINE Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 mines 4181 so the stripes are deep in color. for some reason they didnt seem to realize that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I like the deep draw hood on the Terlingua.... I had that same idea- that deep draw hood would be awesome looking and functional, especially for the SC cars....we can only dream.....

rnoggle Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I've been hearing way to much heart ache over the scoop Yep, seems that the folks that have gone in to have the replacements put on come out worse than before. I'll just wait until I find a hood or hood scoop that I really like and then have a respectable body shop do it all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500-07 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 +1Is the Terlingua hood available to us or just the CS6 hood? I've asked Amy and Bud about the Terligua hood both say NO, we'll have to get the GTH/C6 hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMORINE Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 well its oing back over spring break. im going to supervize them while they put the new one on again. im a mechanic so if they do one thing wrong theyl have shoe laces coming out of their nose. the primary isssue i have is they dont seem to understand how rivets work. the question i have is are the new rivets rivnuts? or are they basicaly cherry max? i know for a fact theyr blind rivets but im not sure what kind. if anything i've probably driven more rivets then these machanics. i may end up doing them myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffIsHereToo Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Yep, seems that the folks that have gone in to have the replacements put on come out worse than before. I haven't see that at all. The issues from what I am reading are installation issues due to poor workmanship and/or inattention to detail. The majority of people I've seen have said, when done by a decent shop, that they have had great success with the new stripes and scoop. I've posted pics mine, as have others, and it looks great! I had the car out yesterday and after almost three months it's still looking great! Don't blame SAI for the poor work of a body shop that can't even match paint!

This is going to hurt, but I have to agree with Jeff on this one! J/K Jeff. Find a shop that knows what they are doing! I have had no problems with SAI nor the quality of the new scoop and it looks great! Proper installation is 90% of the job so don't trust it to just anyone. You say you may do it yourself and with you being a mechanic you should be able to do the job. Sometimes it is best to do things yourself simply because you care more about the end product. Hang in there and be persistant and it will work out with the right shop. OK JEFF, that's the last time I agree with you! HA Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wait until next spring now as the wife found out how much a supercharger really costs Wow that woman is mad!!! Kevin---the car looks awesome!
