Yep, imma make a set at work.

 

Lol that's what I was thinking as well.

 

It should be relatively easy to make one, especially if you know how to bend/weld metal.

I installed mine this morning while I was waiting for my car to warm up! lol Took about 6 minutes total...but of course, I didn't have any extra washers and I didn't scrape any of the paint off of the scoop so my horn isn't working properly right now. I'll pick up some washers today and throw them on and hopefully that'll solve it.

First impressions of the scoop after install... Minimal to no gains from a dead stop acceleration. Since I commute a total of 50+ miles to and from work Monday through Friday, most of my mileage is from stop and go traffic. When going over 40+ mph and passing cars, the car feels a little more responsive. Obviously the faster you go, the more air is being diverted into the air box.

I'll have an updated review on my mileage at the end of the week when I have to fill up again. Before I had the scoop installed, my tank averages have been around 21.3 mpg. We'll see if this changes at all as advertised.

 

Zapa: nice toes.......

 

I'm starting to wonder if I'm ever going to get my set. I never received any e-mail after paying the invoice.
Has everyone else received there's?

 

Hmmm perhaps a trip to the Home Depot and a can of black spraypaint is in order...

 

My transaction was posted on April 11 and I haven't received my set. I also ordered a DES exhaust system at the same time, so I don't know if they will ship together. I'm not in any hurry since my F won't be in until June 15.

 

The people who are making the reviews are those that were in the first 10, including me... I'm sure you'll receive your scoops depending on which group you were in. I believe there was 3 groups of 10.

Here are the dates..

 

Thinking the same thing. I could fab that up in about an hour out of sheet metal or aluminum.

 

we should get some front pics to show how the 3 colours look through the grill

 

I was under the impression I was one of the first ten. Either way no big deal, just not great communication I guess.

 

I got the black one cause I don't want people asking whats behind my grill all the time. The only thing you can see through the grill is the ISS sticker...which I might end up taking off soon if it keeps bothering me enough.

 

i thought i was one of the first ten too as i got a pm when he said they still had a few left...

have no idea which batch im in, itd be nice to know when to expect these

 

HAHAH thanks man! I realized that after I took the shot and put down the hood. I could not be bothered to open it up again or edit the photo on my iPhone which takes all of 20s. But it was finally a nice day down in VA Beach so I had to rock the flip flops.

Also my average miles to the gallon have been around 16 for the last 3 fill ups hahaha I don't think these scoops are going to help me, especially since its getting nice out. Also while down at the beach with all the ladies out you have an obligation to floor it, they say they don't like when guys do it, but we all know the truth.

 

Zapa:
I'm in the Norfolk area must have missed the post about these coming up for sale. Any idea of how to get a set now? I commute quite a bit down to border of north Carolina and would love any boost in mileage and highway pedal response. Also are there alot of F owners in the area? I have only seen one and it was Obsidian hoping to see more but no luck so far.
