I framed the scoop with 1/4" pinstripe tape. I am using the tape to help make my templates. The templates will be transferred to imitation carbon fiber vinyl. Once the vinyl is applied to the hood , i will remove the 1/4" pinstripe tape. I will use some more pinstripe tape to create an outside border & an inside border. The outside border will be placed against the outer edge of the fake carbon fiber vinyl. The inside border will be placed against the outer edge of the hood scoop. All of this action is needed to cover the old screw holes.
More photos showing more progress on my 370z hood scoop project. The gaps are starting to widen where i pieced in the fake carbon fiber sections. I will let it go for about 2 weeks to let the fake carbon fiber finish shrinking. I'll place masking tape along the edges of the gaps , then apply matte black paint in the gaps ( with a tiny paint brush ).
