Shaker Top!
Shaker Top!
Look about 2/3rds the way down the page, there are pictures of one on a '97 - 2004 dakota, seems like it would be relatively simple to do. I only wonder if it would look good. I didn't think hood scoops would look good but the one on this forum with the 2 custom scoops looks great.

Already done. Check out this thread about half way down you'll see the white crossfire. I think it's the best mod done to a crossfire.

As for any actual performance gain, I think you will be disappointed.
For an induction system to receive any benefit or (ram effect) from a scoop, it has to protrude about 4'' or more above the hood line to get above the 2 inches of "dead air".
Think Sabaru, 1969 Mopar (B-bodies) 440 6-Pack, Challenger TA's, Boss 429 Mustang's, Hurst Rambler Scrambler, Hemi Dart, style scoops and you will see what I'm talking about.
If you want something purely for cosmetic reasons like I did, then all I can tell you is I couldn't be happier with the one I came up with. I think a scooped hood gives the Crossfire a much more "aggressive" look about it, and that's what I was going for. I think it should have been part of the SRT package, and it would have helped balance out the "whale tail" IMO.
