This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

70 GS Hood Scoops

    I just got a set of hood scoops and Seal plates from PAE for my 70 GS and had some color questions. I believe the scoop should be painted to match the color of the car but, what color are the Seal Plates suposted to be? I didn't have any in the car to reference. I'd apreciate any help here.

    Are the scoops body color through out or are they painted black on the bottom facing the engine compartment?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    You can't see them from the underside - the plates are in the way.

    well mine are pretty visible (see upper RH corner of attachment) :grin: so for the judges eye what is correct semi-flat black or body color on the bottom of the scoops?

    Thanks again,
    Mark

    My bad! You'd think I haven't owned one or another of these cars for most of the last 20 years. :Dou:

    So much for my new years resolution to stop talking out my :moonu: .

    Personally, since a judge would stop judging my car after looking at the VIN, I say forget the judge and leave the bottom of the scoops red. Looks really good and draws attention to how good the underside of your hood is :TU:
