Freebie Hood Scoop Mount: Cutlass

[Oldstech]

Well, a couple of months ago I tried searching Hood Scoops. I didnt get much luck. A friend gave me this Hood Scoop, thought I would share.

Im 50/50 on it. The Pro's out weigh the Con's. I needed the hood clearance bad and it allowed me to run the Air cleaner I wanted. Con, I really dont think it flows, but doesnt looks horrible. Im gonna run it, and enjoy it either way.

The front isn't mount yet (just the rear), reason why you can see alittle gap. Have to get some inner support cutting to bolt the front down.

Look Bad A** inside the car.

Thoughts?

The car aint pretty, but perfect. I have no worries when I drive it. But mostly it will be paint white this summer.

Doesn't look bad I would just ditch the chrome stripe on the hood and header panel then paint the scoop body color.

Hey Rok, how much clearance will you gain? That scoop was one of several I was looking at for my race car.

Completely agree, that would help it "flow"

Free scoop + need for clearance = get the saw.
I think it will look good after removing the hood trim.

its either a scoop or a new hood i like your scoop

I think if you paint the car white you should leave the scoop black for contrast i think it looks good how its setup now and it would look better after youve painted just my opinion

Thumbs up on the patina! The scoop looks like it would flow, why wouldn't it? Have you tried to face it the other way?

I don't think it looks too bad, it'll probably look sweet body color.
