good luck with it looking good.
I had 2 ram air style scoops molded onto my avenger hood and it wasnt pretty after a while. Phillip @ Whiplash motorsports spent just under 3 days getting the filler to stay smooth and even after pop riveting them down and making them functional and it still couldnt stay nice

after driving around for maybe a week or two the filler was already cracking. your best bet would be to glass them onto an OEM f/g hood. if you do it on your stock metal one it wont stay all that great looking. maybe from a distance, but up close the cracks will be seen

I really dont see what he couldve done wrong though...ht usd the double stick tape on the bottom of the scoops in order to make a good seal. then he used a few pop-rivets around the corners and in the middle of each side to hold it in place. and then used just enough filler to make smooth seams. Then he went in from the bottom where the air inlets through the hood were and sealed in the inside of the scoops just as he had the outside.

since he was putting fiberglass onto metal, I dont see what he couldve done differently
