i was in pep boys today, and i saw some hood scoops you could tape on to your stock hood for $65. i have a feeling the general concensus is these scoops are garbage, but has anyone ever seen these scoops in person on a car? i'm thinking they would look pretty good from afar.

i have seen them on ricers....
and i think it would look cheap -
there is someone with a set of those on a 93-97 firebird and its red and on that one they looked alright but for the most part no. there is a guy in my town with a set of those an a silver 99 z28 and it looks like such as$.no fate but what we make<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/748167/1\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/748167/1</a>Comment

I would bite the bullet and buy the hood...thats what Im going to do.

they only thing i have to say about that is it might be more expensive to have the bondo that on and make it smooth compared to just buying the SS hood for 2-3 hundred dollars off ebay
and i dont want to hear about you just screwing it on, bondo is the only way to go, cause if you did, i would put you name in my profile under that title of ricer [img]tongue.gif[/img]Comment
