Piece of cake. Using about $5 worth of supplies I threw together a perfect looking and very functional hood scoop screen.
Here's what you are looking at for supplies.
The screen can be found at Home Depot for about $1.30 a piece. It's aluminum so it will never rust and it's already curved at dang near the same curve as the front of the scoop. The rest of the stuff.....spray paint, little black zip ties, paper to trace out the pattern on, metal snips..that's about it.
Here's what you're looking at under the hood.
The black piece that is down in this pictures comes loose by removing a number of phillips head screws....maybe 9 of them total. Once you drop that down, you see small 8mm nuts to let the scoop loose. You can see all 6 of those here. Get those loose and then squeeze in the 4 black clips to release the scoop. Piece of cake.
Then, from there.....use the paper to get the shape you need (I'd scan it in, but it's larger than 8.5x11), trace it onto the screen, cut the screen, shoot it with the paint and zip tie that sucker in there. Here's how she looks...
I can do a more thorough write up if someone would like, but there really isn't much more than a few screws and nuts to it. Nothing too tough. I'd voluneer to cut the screens and have the kits together for people to buy...but really, just go to Home Depot and pick the stuff up. This is just too easy of a mod NOT to do.
