Ok... I wana remove the side scoop incerts and the hood scoop incert and repaint them flat black... How do I remove them// Help appreciated.. I dont wana break anything..

the honeycomb one in the hood scoop is glued in if im not mistaken.. you should be able to pry it out.. just make sure you lay something down to protect the paint incase you slip.. i dont konw about the side scoops.. probably the same thing

Why would you want to paint them flat black, no offence or anything. But on mine i replaced them with stainless steel incerts and i believe that increases the appearance alot! people always look at them!

wraitherx · January 18th, 2009, 11:35 AM

personal preference bro, some would say that the stainless steel inserts arent for them, but like i said its all preference

They pop right out, easiest way to pop them out would be a 90 degree miniature pick or similar.

jrfan4life · January 18th, 2009, 04:08 PM

I dont realy like the look of the stainless incerts.. I realy like them black... Its just my preferance... Im going to pop them out repaint and we will go from there.......

Thanks people for all your help......

I'm just wondering does the 2001 3.8L plastic hood scoop insert just pop out too? The side ones poped out as stated above, but I haven't tried the hood yet. Also didn't want to break anything.

I guess worst case it could just be glued back on.

Pop the hood take off the thermal blanket thing that protects the hood. Then just pop out the plastic thing.

I believe there are 5 little plastic tabs that hold it on.

Sounds simple enough. Just like the side scoops right? I just didn't want to break anything.

But, do I really have to remove the thermal blanket? Can't I just use a little 90degree tool and pop it out?

Would hate to break it though.

jrfan4life · January 23rd, 2009, 11:23 AM

Pacific Mustang... Removing the thermal blanket is super easy... While you have it down.. Take some flat black spray paint and spray the thermal blanket... looks new when done.. cleans up uner your hood...

PacificMustang01 · January 23rd, 2009, 01:39 PM

Well, removing the front scoop insert was as easy as the sides. I didn't want to mess with the thermal blanket because its raining today, and I don't have a garage. So, I just went slow and didn't force anything and it poped right out. Now time to paint it.

Thanks for the advice all. Gave me the courage just to do it.

PacificMustang01 · January 23rd, 2009, 01:41 PM

oh, and jrfan4life, does spraying the blanket black really make it look like new? I wouldn't think spray paint would work well on that material. You have any pics of yours?

jrfan4life · January 26th, 2009, 11:27 AM

I will have to post pics at a later date the car is in storage for the winter... After I sprayed it.... it looked like new...
