hmmm appearently the previous owner of mine did the same thing. I have the valve stem there too. So this means i dont have automatic leveling anymore?

yea you can put it where ever you want the way it is and or pay a/b $500 for the motor to fix it. its not hard to put in just cost to much

haven't checked the rides on cardomain in awhile. What do you think of this guy's scoops? I like the position and height of yours better

I like the above one because it's better integrated into the hood rather than looking attatched.

My suggestion is to paint them teal and then the intake sections black. my 2 Cents. smile

Subject: Re: 98 Riv Sun Mar 18, 2007 8:30 pm

why teal why not the factory color?

Subject: Re: 98 Riv Sun Mar 18, 2007 8:34 pm

Are those scoops functional?

Subject: Re: 98 Riv Mon Mar 19, 2007 2:46 pm

i wish

Subject: Re: 98 Riv Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:50 pm

You can have them molded to the car like I did on my side vents. It would help to complete the package. Paint the vents the same color as the car (or if your two toning...the color of the hood).

Subject: Re: 98 Riv Mon Mar 19, 2007 5:54 pm

I agree, have someone do some body work to blend the scoops into the hood, repaint, and why not cut some holes to let air in for cooling the engine?

did he mean the factory color of the car, most of us take it for granted as "teal". Buick Riv came in 3 different shades of teal, it was the 90's wink

Subject: Re: 98 Riv Mon Mar 19, 2007 9:12 pm

I thought it looked green.
