I think that the scoops look like they were really part of the initial design, not an afterthought. Of course, I might change my mind when I see them on my RT. I'll just have to wait and see.

Mine has a little ( ~1") scratch from the install too. Not as bad as yours as it runs parallel to the scoop. It was the first they did so it has to be a learning process to do the cut out I guess. I will get them to give me a bottle of touch up paint and that will solve my problem.

Looks like the guy "slipped" with the cutting tool they used to cut the holes in the panel for the scoops.
They should probably mask off the area on the panel where they cut to prevent scratching of the paint.

2013 RT LTD recall mods.
Just picked up my 2013 RT LTD after recall work for the heat related problems (heat in/on glove box, rightside panels, gas cap, and heat issues under seat) and the difference is night and day! None of the heat on any of the mentioned items. Rode home in 82-85 degree heat, 30+ miles on the highway, 55-75 mph. Body Panels and glove box actually felt cool to the touch. Engine temp gage never reached Mid-point on the scale. Got home raised the seat and everything under it was cool to the touch, removed gas cap, also cool, no boiling of fuel detected. This recall modification solves all the problems of heat in the engine compartment. the external mods look ok, scoop-like fixtures on both sides. Side note, I let the motor idle a few minutes,4-5, temp gage went to mid-point and heat from under could be felt, but not as intense as before mods.

Still haven't been on a long ride since the recall work....pretty toasty in Arizona to ride other than early morning right now!
The good news is that the dealer thus far sounds like they are taking full responsibility for the scratch made during the air scoop installation. The service manager asked me to email a photo, and he said he is ordering a replacement panel. This is the same chain of dealers that I purchased from, but the first time I have been to this dealer due to a move. It is nice to know that they are taking care of it without a fight.

They have been very cool about it. I called the service manager after noticing it. He asked me to email photos. Apparently the mechanic didn't realize he had scratched it (it isn't huge; the photo of the scratch is really zoomed in). He told me he was ordering a new panel and will replace it (I didn't have to ask). Unsolicited, he called and left a voicemail last week to let me know he had not forgotten about me, was still waiting for the delivery of the panel. So, it is not repaired yet, but definitely sounds promising. I will update when I have resolution.
