Justin: The pre-painted MMD side scoops here are currently the most popular and highly rated option on the site for all 2010 through 2014 Mustangs looking to add a little bit more of that retro styling reminiscent of the California Special. Now the scoops themselves are gonna combine the injection-molded ABS plastic-build with that pre-painted finish for red around 250 bucks. Now the install will be a straightforward peel and stick job, so figure a soft one out of three wrenches on the old difficulty meter here and about 30 minutes to wrap up from start to finish. Now in my humble opinion, the S197s were the perfect embodiment of classic meets modern styling and because of that, retro-inspired parts like quarter window louvers or side scoops tend to work really well on this particular body style. Now the scoops that we have here, I would say are pretty tame overall and are gonna be extremely similar to what Ford installed on the factory California Special cars in this exact year range. Now construction-wise, as you can see there's really not a ton to talk about here outside of the injection-molded ABS plastic-build, which will be very lightweight and very durable overall. Now the kit will include two scoops, driver and passenger of course, which will install just behind the door on the rear quarters to kind of accentuate the lines on the side of the S197. And I have to say when installed the look flows very nicely and everything looks very clean. In addition to the scoops themselves, you are also receiving your little MMD care package here which is basically going to include, your instructions, your 3M prep pads and adhesion promoter, very important, and then finally all of your precut 3M tape needed for the installation. But aside from the basic design here, I would say one of the best parts about these particular scoops, if you haven't noticed already, is the fact that they have been pre-painted to color match your S197 at home like our deep impact blue options here. Now, guys, if you didn't already know, our state-of-the-art in-house paint booth sprays with the same base and clear coat that Ford uses on all of their Mustangs, which in turn just ensures a near perfect color match on your ride at home. And as I pointed out earlier, these scoops are incredibly popular here on the site with well over 100 5-star reviews and a ton of customers submitted images. So again, feel free to check those out on the site and to see how well the color matching does with different factory colors. But switching gears, let's talk about the installation as promised earlier. And again, peel and stick job here, guys, don't expect anything crazy like drilling or permanent modification. And to give you a better idea of what you're in for in the garage, here's that detailed walkthrough along with a quick tool breakdown. Joe: The tools used for this install were a microfiber cloth, detail spray, and a razor knife. So the first step of this install is going to be to prep the side scoop for installation onto the vehicle. I'm gonna do this with the provided alcohol wipes and the adhesion promoter. Now the back of the surface is prepped and clean, we can start installing the 3M adhesive.Next, using a microfiber cloth and some detail spray, I'm gonna clean the surface of the vehicle where the side scoop is gonna stick onto. Now I'm gonna use the alcohol pad and the adhesion promoter to do the final step before I install the louver. Next, I'm gonna peel off the corners of the 3M adhesive before I stick it to the vehicle. Now I'm gonna line up my side scoop with my body ones and apply it to the vehicle. Once I have a position the way I want, I can start peeling my tape back. Finally, I can apply some light pressure to make the tape stick. And that's gonna wrap up this review and install of the MMD Side Scoops for your '10 to '14 Mustang. Thanks for watching.
