Using this OLM carbon fiber hood scoop is easy. First, clean the back of the scoop and the hood area with rubbing alcohol. Then, remove your old OEM hood scoop by popping the clips under the hood and taking off a few nuts on the front. The new scoop comes with 3M tape for a secure fit along the edges. Press it firmly in place. After that, use silicon sealant around the scoop to keep water out. It also comes with pre - installed hardware and a black mesh screen, along with 4 bolts, washers, and nuts. Once installed, re - install the black plastic trim under the hood to help direct air to the intercooler. For maintenance, regularly check the sealant and 3M tape for any signs of wear. If you notice any issues, replace them as needed. Keep the scoop clean by washing it with mild soap and water.
