Aftermarket hood and scoop fitment
Anyone having issues getting factory scoops to fit on their aftermarket hood? I can't get the driver's side to go in. Seems like to needs to go back farther to slide in, but there's no room. Passenger side a workable.

I've never had an aftermarket hood to speak from experience, but I recall some discussion in older threads here about the repop hoods needed the lip that tucks under the back of the scoop trimmed down a little. looking at your picture, not sure that would help as it looks like the opening is just too small but maybe with that trimming, the scoop would ride up a bit further at the back to allow the front to drop into the valley.

good luck! I hear that on the stress - I learned the hard way early on to fit everything BEFORE paint even if you think you already had good fits just as a final check - even all factory parts can still need some tweaks like fenders to endura, valence to fenders, etc.

Some of the aftermarket hoods need to have the repop scoops too.
Not 100% sure right now but seems like this is one of them. |

BVZ, l recall that being the case as well when this subject came up in the past. Repop hood, repop scoop.
