Default hood scoop

Does anyone think this hood scoop might look alright on a crossfire besides me?? I think it would match perfectly with the center lines we have through the car. ITs different but really neat looking.

I'd like to see a photo shop first before I said yes or no. I don't think it looks bad now.

Hi Jonny

Eventhough the others' opinions are leaning to the not so positive, the decision is still yours to make.

At least you have the pre_views and well prepared whats coming if you eventually decided to have the hood scooped.

As for me, I only have one in mind but won't be too helpful to you.

All the best yeah.

its not terrible, but I think longer would be a great idea, get the openings closer to the bottom of the hood and that way we can make a functional air intake out of it and keep our factory airbox. I think any color other than red it might look better as well.

I don't see any real reason for a hood scoop unless it's functional. +fireamx did a scoop on his car reminiscent of the old AMX muscle cars, but then he's an AMX lover AND he had the thing custom fabricated, not just something tacked on like the on the red Benz. If you feel you really need to do something like that, do it right or don't bother.

As for me, I'd never give up the design of the stock hood - I love it.

I'm afraid I am going to have to side with the majority on this one. I personally think subtle is better.

I will agree that subtle is better. Also will agree with functional is the only way to go. If I had the ability to get a second hood, for a reasonable price I would have no issues cutting one up, while keeping the design and flavor of the stock hood with small intake vents much like the early viper hood intake. Of course it would be towards the bottom of the hood so that we could have a real cold air intake associated with it. But since I dont have the funds to custom make a hood then it will have to wait. lol

johny now i know you havent gotten the best reviews on this, but i like the nostril look, but that one is just too small, it doesnt even look like it could possibly be functional. i think the main thing that hood scoop must do is look like it could at least be functional. my thought would bee the trans am scoop from the i think 01 transam the long nostrils. now on top of that im thinking you could potentionaly fab something like the intakes you already have, up to make this a truely funtional ram air scoop! id love to see a photo shop of that scoop on our cars! can anyone do it? just my thoughts, oh and it would eliminate the lines in the hood as well. once i saw hoodoos scoop in person i realized how much better the car looks without thoose lines, just slick and smooth!

I Have no intentions of doing a hood scoop only because I am yet to see anything that really appeals to me. Saw this Renntech set up have not seen anything like it so I thought I would through it out there. THE AMX hood scoops looks really good and is defiantly original but just not my style. I agree with Irwin though a mongoose style hood scoop might do the trick. I love the look of the firebird and the ws6 style hood. Its tough with the crossfire being we have the lines down the hood. It would be sweet to see if the lines could continued to be mimicked in the hood. WHERE ARE OUR PHOTOSHOP EXPERTS lol i could do it but it would take me 3 hours.
