If someone can sell or loan me a set I promise to "copy" them and send them there set back then make and sell scoops identical to TTM without the lettering for a better price than TTM

You don't need someone's scoops...it only takes a few mins to make a cardboard template.

This would be a great project for someone with access to a 3D printer... It'd be easy to whip up a model in some software (UG, Solidworks, etc) and spit out a pair. There's no reason they couldn't be made from plastic, and the design could also be made much less "boxy". If you wanted to get fancy you could even model in a logo or whatever you like.

I just messaged my buddy who has access to a 3D printer... he is going to design them from my car, and print a set.
And another buddy might make them out of CF

wont know till we have a set designed up. I haven't ever measured the temps but if it gets too hot, the plastic from the 3D printer will melt, I thought CF might be a good alternative but that might brown if the heat is too high as well.

Did this ever go anywhere? I got a fever, and the only cure is more scoops.

On that note, can I assume if they work for a 63 they'll work for me? May just say F it and grab these. Pretty sure they look identical.

edit: scratch that. They look a lot smaller. Grrr...
