How to Install Cervini's B9 Hood Scoop - Unpainted (05-09 GT, V6) on your Ford Mustang

Notice: Prefit Before Painting. Install new, unpainted parts according to these instructions. Then remove parts, paint them and re-install.

Painted or Altered Parts are Non-Refundable

The surface that is in contact with the 3M 2-sided tape must be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol & the temperature must be a minimum of 75 degrees F, before applying . Allow the 2-sided tape to dry 24 hours before driving.

Pre-fi tting the hood scoop: If you are attaching this scoop to a factory hood, then use this template to locate where the holes are drilled. Measure from the left to the right side of the hood to locate the center of the factory hood. Line up the template with the center line of the hood, and tape in place. Drill the 1/4” holes indicated and install the scoop with the black screws provided in the hardware packet. After the scoop has been painted, apply the 2-sided tape 1/8” away from the outer edge along the rear and side edge of the scoop. Peel and fold about 2” of the red backing from the ends of each piece of tape, then place the scoop on the hood so that the red backing is exposed and can be pulled (this will allow you to get the best alignment of the scoop). After the backing is removed, install the 6 black screws and fi rmly press the edges of the scoop to securly adhere the tape.

VERY IMPORTANT: The following painting procedures MUST be followed EXACTLY for PROPER ADHESION and to prevent fish eyes.

1. To remove any mold release contaminants, clean the back of the part fi rst. Using 2 new clean rags, saturate the fi rst rag with plastic prep cleaner* and begin cleaning. Then use the second rag to remove the prep cleaner. Continuously fold both rags to their clean sides during the process. Use 3 sets of new rags throughout the process. This prevents mold release contaminants from transferring to the painted surface.

2. Repeat step one on the front of the part.

3. Rinse the part with water. Apply a generous amount of Ajax® or sand fi x* to a red scuff pad* (3M Scotch Brite Brand) and scrub the surface to be painted THOROUGHLY (especially where the 2- sided tape is installed, on the back side of the part, and all the hard to reach areas). Then rinse with water and dry. The scrubbed surface should be dull. If any shiny spots show, repeat the process on those areas.

4. Using another set of clean new rags, again clean the surface to be painted with plastic prep cleaner.

5. Spray the surface to be painted with adhesion promoter* including the areas where the 2-sided tape is installed (follow the instructions on the can for application and drying time).

6. Apply 3 to 4 coats of urethane primer* with fl ex additive* (follow the instructions on the can for application and drying time).

7. Wet sand primer with 600 grit sandpaper. Be careful not to sand through the primer. If you do, you MUST clean those areas with plastic prep cleaner, apply adhesion promoter and prime. Once the primer has dried, wet sand the areas that were touched up. Your surface is now ready for paint.

The surface that is in contact with the 3M 2-sided tape must be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol & the temperature must be a minimum of 75 degrees F, before applying . Allow the 2- sided tape to dry 24 hours before driving. Do not use this template to locate the holes for mounting the scoop.

Use the provisions on the underside of the hood for attaching the scoop. Drill the 3 dot locations on each side of the hood with a ¼” drill bit as shown in fi g. A. After the scoop has been painted, apply the 2-sided tape 1/8” away from the outer edge along the rear and side edges of the scoop. Peel and fold about 2” of the red backing from the ends of each piece of tape, then place the scoop on the hood so that the red backing is exposed and can be pulled (this will allow you to get the best alignment of the scoop). After the backing is removed, install the 6 silver screws and fi rmly press the edges of the scoop to securly adhere the tape.​
