hood scoops

[NEK5]

alright so i`ve decide that i`m not gonna get or have the money for a reall cowl hood so i am just gonna try using a hood scoop so can u guys post pics of your hood scoops....they dont have to be cowl ones

 

[yellowK20]

Why do you want a Cowlhood/hoodscoop??? is your current aircleaner not clearing your hood ?? or is it for the "Cold Air"

 

[NEK5]

mostly for looks....but the cold air would be good.....my hood looks like crap so what should i do with it....paint some flames on it?or bondo a hoodscoop on it and maybe make it functional unless if i can find a cheap hood if u can point me in the right direction

 

[yellowK20]

I'd fix it . back to stock it would be good practice for further body repairs

Dont put thos cheasy plastic scoops on it. I laugh everytime i see one on trucks. If you look closely you can see that gap betwen the body, they only look good from a distance.

If you are to get a cowl induction hood, buy a Harwood.

Or you could make one. Yes, this is the thread I've been waiting for... here's my pics. Some of yo have probably already seen it. It's bolted on. I wouldn't recommend bondoing anything onto the hood of a truck, it will crack when you shut it. And YES it's funcutional. Not too practical though, took a little bit of practice to learn how to drive with it on there. But I got it down good now. I've actually been contemplating remaking it into a cowl style scoop which would make it about 3 inches shorter. It's only 8 inches tall ( I know it looks taller).
Edit: It looks a little better with the top on.

 

[NEK5]

what if u rivet it then use bondo to cover gap??

i was thinking of this

dont really know how it would look so i cant decide

i would love a ram air cowl induction hood if anyone knows where to get one semi cheap

 

[DirtyJim]

that hood is for a trans am. it wouldn't look right

I got this one from AIM industries for around $400.00 shipped.

 

[NEK5]

i agree i think that it would look odd.....i have a bunch of other stuff to do before a hood so i think i`ll just keep checkin around for a cowl hood in the WantAds or something similar local.....dirtyjim hows your truck goin?

thats steel??....looks nice....any pics of it on the truck??

 

[sgarrison]

Yes, it's a functional cowl induction all steel hood with all of the factory bracing underneath. I will post some pics of the truck painted soon.

I got a Reflexxion steel cowl on mine. They had a couple different styles of cowl hoods, some with ram air slots. http://www.reflexxion.com/ref/rf7.html and http://www.reflexxion.com/ref/rf8.html

 

[sgarrison]

Those hoods look a little busy for my taste.

 

[neverendingproject]

i like sgarrison's, I think thats the one im gonna get. I just have to find a place to buy one.

 

[sgarrison]

This should help, this is where I got mine....... my hood
