    Damn that's a big scoop!

    Personally, I think it would have looked better if it wasn't so tall...something a little more subtle and lower profile, but that's just me. Did you cut a hole underneath or punch louvers? Any pictures from the underside of the hood?

      Now you can start looking at aftermarket heads and intake, along with spacers since you got the space for it now

        X2!

        and what packman said! time to put some more muscle under that scoop! Supercharger time! Otherwise it doesn't look bad. A bit too tall for my taste as well

          Hood scoops are only acceptable if they are necessary for clearance. That being said make it necessary!

              No offence but unless your packing something pretty serious under the hood then that ram air looks kind of ... out of place or to say it bluntly, stupid. Rims are nice though

                I'd like to do that with my Lincoln, only i'd do a cowl scoop because I think rear facing looks better. How is that attached? I'm gonna look for a junkyard hood so I can keep my stock one whole, don't care about cutting a hole in a junker hood.
