    I would appreciate a diagram with measurements so I can install a factory GT scoop onto my Comet hood.
    Thanks.

    I installed it farther back than factory I believe. Otherwise i need 2 inch long studs for the 4 in back LOL. I will get them tightened down tomorrow. Until then it will have to be fine with 6. I am super happy. I went to the grocery store for a 12 pack and got a nice comment from a stranger asking what year my Mustang was...

    What you already drilled holes in the hood...lol. You should have waited and you could have got the hood it came off of to measure from. Did you atleast paint it?

    Heck no I left it fuzzy and green. I'll paint it later. I still have to take it back off anyway. I just REALLY wanted it on! NOW.

    Looks good and you need to sue that damn tree and teach it a lesson or at the very least cut it down and kick it off your property.:rofl:
