Put it on ....looks great...really does highlight the hood scoop..Went on easy!There are a couple different ones. I put on the one that is just a 3M stick on for the end. Before peeling the protective tape, position it and make gentle bends so that it is perfectly formed to the scoop contour. Make some marks with tape or Sharpie for the position you want it. Once you peel the protective tape be sure you put it exactly where you want it as the 3M tape is unforgiving. A little gas on a rag will remove Sharpie marks.

I first made sure it fit properly then took a small section of tape covering out right at the bend giving me enough tail for pull tabs. Positioned the center correctly and pressed it in place then worked my way carefully outward on both sides. Went on like a charm.If it is the stick on type, it is hard to get the curved part to stick
Did exactly that, otherwise hard to get to fit flushThere are a couple different ones. I put on the one that is just a 3M stick on for the end.

I found the suggestion to use dental floss and saw back and forth worked well for me. I had to remove one of the signature scripts off my right rear panel as it had been broken. From the fuzz caught on it I assume by a drying rag used at a carwash.Vid of wife's 03 Bird purchased with hood scoop done with 3M taped chrome, that wasn't applied correctly as the tails aren't sticking. Hmmm a blade n new tape......
Which one did you use? Some I've seen on ebay exclude the 2005 model.Put it on ....looks great...really does highlight the hood scoop..Went on easy!
To be more accurate, it does NOT include the 2005 model. Seems odd since I don't believe they Ford changed the design in '05.Does it actually exclude it, or just not specify 2002-2005? What is the link to the item on eBay?
What about the second half of the question?To be more accurate, it does NOT include the 2005 model. Seems odd since I don't believe they Ford changed the design in '05.
