    I have a fiberglass grabber reproduction hood. No idea who made it as it was on the car when I bought it.

    Anyways the scoops don't appear to removable. They aren't in bad shape but the honeycomb has definitely seen better days. Has anyone repaired these before?

    Thanks

    I have had the same problem with one scoop and plan on using a piece of expanded stainless steel cut to the shape of the opening and gluing it on after taking care of the issue with scoop with a little fiberglass to make it flat

    I'll try and get a pic this weekend. Work has been non stop this week so far.
    They don't appear to be removable from the hood at all which sucks.
