    And yes it does. Made to fit with OEM mounting. I even have the OEM rubber that's under the bonnet on there...

    Do you know if that's painted? If not I wonder how much it costs to get them painted at the local panel beater?
    Cheers Rod

    I paid just over $600 unpainted But that was delivered, came wrapped in bubble wrap and inside a wooden box.
    I went to the local auto paint shop and they mixed up some paint in the factory colour and put it in a spray can, and I painted it my self, not difficult and came out very good.

    They come white but I would clear coat that for a better finish, to fit all you need in a minimax socket set and un-do 4 or 6 x 10mm nuts,
    there is a steel retaining plate plus the rubber cushion.
    After cleaning the bonnet of dirt etc with an alcohol wipe pull off the backing tape and place scoop in position,
    then place rubber cushion and steel retaining plate in position and re tighten the 4 or 6 nuts DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN

    Could you just use a 3M vinyl wrap for the scoop?
    I think that's what I'd do plus the whole bonnet also.
    As I get lots of glare from my roof rack lights but I guess my eyes just adjust anyway.
