gen II scoops

[VsMaxx]

hey guys, im seeing all sorts of pictures of gen I vmaxes with scoops of a gen II. are they a direct bolt on or is some fabricating needed?
and where is everyone getting them from? are they getting them used or buying them from a dealer? :confused2:
i tried to do i little search first but i couldnt find what i was looking for.

The Gen11 ones won't fit on the Gen1 - I tried to fit them already - but the one's that Redbone listed will work - I am seriously thinking of getting a set - do love the way the Gen11 style scoops look on the Gen1.

I have a chromed set of Mega Scoops that I am wanting to get sold. Had to get one of them rechromed (got a small rub mark in it) but should be back by now (just need to open the packages at the shop). I am wanting $500 for the pair with fresh chrome work plus shipping. I have another pair that are rough castings that could be smoothed up and painted for $150 (pics on the Morleys Muscle for sale section).

A vendor who doesn't have "good reputation" is selling gen2 scoops replica in carbon for gen1.
I won't name him but it starts with a U lol
I saw them on eBay recently, that might be exactly what you're searching for.

What, you mean something like this?

I got the Millennium Scoops from RAM Air Systems who also do just the carcases rather than the full ram air system.

bad guy who has screwed few here. I got a drag bar through ebay and didn't have issue but it was before I read about this.
I'm neutral but I prefer to let people make their own mind.

Everyones CF is different. Mis-matched CF on the same bike might not look right.

hmm from what ive read im not dealing with them. looks like hes screwed too many guys. has anyone tried polishing theyre stock scoops? the set i have have scratches and a few scrapes on one, how well do they buff out?

 

[KJShover]

how well do they buff out?

Right here. I think the scoops look pretty good polished. Then again I like that old-school hotrod look.

Its best to switch arms every so often, otherwise you'll have one bigger than the other. :biglaugh:

I polish mine every year and only monthly touch up with Mothers aluminum polish. When I first picked up my max in '07 I had to do a lot of sanding starting with 600 grit working on up in grit to polishing compound. Each year I just do some light sanding with a grey scotchbrite pad then some polishing compound. My scoops aren't perfect because of casting flaws and such but they polish up great.
