RE: hood scoops
IF I'm not mistakin', rabbit0102030's hood looks like it has the fake hood scoops on it. I don't like them IMO. I recently bought a Goodmark Cowl hood off eBay that was $330 with shipping, and it's getting painted right now. It looks sick. I like it MUCH better than the fake hood scoops. They just don't look right, and they do nothing, so basically you're turning into a ricer. lol, just kiddin', or am I??

RE: hood scoops
Yeah I have some on my truck. I don't find them to be ricey, but ok whatever. I'm going to fiberglass them into the hood and make them functional. I have never had a problem with them coming off the hood so I'd say go for it.

RE: hood scoops
I don't know... I think that the adhesive hood scoops seem to be out of place, and only look right when they get fiberglassed on the hood so they blend in better. Here's a pic of the hood I got. And another pic of the hood on an S-10. I really like mine, it looks sick. It's steel, a direct OEM fit, and it doesn't flex as much as fiberglass.

RE: hood scoops
I dont think anything should be put on if its not functional. Like my ol' Z24 for instance.....the air box was sealed off pulling all the air directly from the scoop. If i did that I might as well get the spinner hub caps [8D]

RE: hood scoops
Everyone has their own opinion, but there is a reason the fake stick-on "scoops" cost $60.00 and thefunctional Goodmark hoods cost $600.00 YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! If you can't afford what you really want, then save the money until you can. That's what I did, and let me say this, when you are bolting on that beautiful new hood...it will be well worth the extra cash! Also, those stick-ons look even worse from the driver's seat and you will have to look at them every time you drive the truck until you get sick of seeing them and take them off anyway.
