In case you are interested . Here is a shot of his installed. Instead of using the supplied hardware to bolt it in place, I got some gorrilla glue and glued it in place. After it dried, I taped it off and painted the outer edges where the glue showed with some black automotive touchup paint and it turned out really nice.

Sweet...... You wont be disappointed! I highly reccomend removing the stock piece and glueing them together. Those supplied screws stick out big time.

Its held in by a few tabs..... If you look at it real close you can see them. Once the new piece is glued in, its really hard to get it out so make sure to do everything you want to it before you pop it back in.

As requested, here is a close up of the scoop insert. The flash makes it look a little odd around the edges though.
