Now, THAT's a very nicely executed hood scoop. It may not be 100% =
efficient, but it looks GOOD.
(well done...and don't change the color!)

We put a hood scoop on the MkI of my youngest son. It is a =

know that unless a scoop in the middle of the hood sticks up at least =
2-3 inches, it's sitting in a fairly dead air zone. You need a =
high-pressure location (such as the bottom of the windshield) or a =
high-flow area (such as a TALL, pro-stock type scoop....that's why the =
pro-stock builders use the tall scoops)
