I wonder, if the hood scoop was dealer installed, did they just cut a hole and pop rivet the scoop on?
Actually, I would think that the roll bar would be the toughest "option" for a typical dealer to install.

Re: the hood scoop...that would be easy.

No reforming the hood; all MK III's had the same hood...no sealing, since Street's were 2x4, so no turkey pan,,,, just whack a hole and pop-rivet a painted scoop.

Even so, I doubt many were done that way.

I would think most of the accessories installed at the dealer were radios and mirrors/trim.
