optyks Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Not sure if anyone knows, but How would I go about removing my 06 hood scoop? Would like to paint it... Looks like there are the pop-it type screws, but I don't want to just yank on it and hope it comes out. None of the threads that came up in search were relevant or had any useful info....

optyks Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 I find it really, REALLY hard to believe that NO one has ever replaced, traded out, or otherwise taken out their scoop............... I've seen LGTs with traded scoops. come on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagcars26 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Quit your whining,it's not that hard if you have normal hand tools. Just eyeball it and figure your best way at it. Do a search fr "vacation pics" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optyks Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yeah i got to the point where I figured I might as well just go for it and see what I can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fx4me Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Granted it was a totally different style, but the scoop on my old FXT just had 6-8 plastic screws to take out, then the scoop just came off. The LGT can't be that much different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclarenf3 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I just did it today on my '06 Legacy GT. There's a fabric/composite liner that's attached to the under part of the entire hood. If you look all around, it's held up by round plastic pieces in about 10 or more different spots. Starting at one side, start removing those plastic pieces by getting a flat head screw driver underneath them. Wiggle it out, or pry it out. If you try and screw it out, it'll do nothing. Once you get enough of them out (I left the bottom ones still in), you'll see 4 nuts and bolts sticking out from the hood. Remove those 4 nuts, and then the hood scoop will come off. Removing the hood scoop was easiest when pushing up on the bolts, and then pulling the hood scoop to the front of the car. Hope this helps!

optyks Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Awesome, thanks! I haven't had time to tinker around with it, and havent decided whether I want to paint it anyway, so not sure if i'll be removing it now. Still, good to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
