RT scoop inserts
« on: October 02, 2012 - 11:49:02 PM »
I got some new metal inserts for my 1970 RT hood and they are unfinished metal.  These are the smaller plates that fit vertically inside the scoop. 

I just realized I don't know if they should be installed as-is or painted black, matte, glossy?  Also not sure of the mounting hardware.  Any suggestions appreciated.  Especially pics!  :2thumbs:

All the ones I have seen have been matte black. 

I need a pair so I'm interested in the answers on paint and especially fasteners.  Are the fasteners painted as well? :popcorn:

Where did you get your metal inserts, and how well do they fit?

Dale's Cuda Shop sells the inserts.  I think they are only $15 a pair.  I don't know how they fit.

Matte black is correct for the inserts and screws.  I used SEM Trim Black on mine.
