4inch cowl hood scoop

has any one ever put a hood scoop on these trucks before. i think the 4 inch cowl hardwood scoop would look bad a$$. the little ridge even looks like the one it comes on the stock hood. heres the one im looking at http://shop.eharwood.com/cgi-bin/harwood/1107.html

let me know what you think and post some pictures of these trucks with scoops.

thanks for any an all input

I've got a 5". It's not Harwood brand but the exact same style. The center ridge looks exactly like the stock ridge. A little fiberglass work and it all blends perfectly. It's in for paint right now, hoping to have it back the end of the month:

this may be asking to much but do you have a picture from the top (sounds like a smart A$$ remark but not ment to be) And were did you get the scoop and how much

I paid $70 for the scoop from a guy called "Mr. Goodglass". He's a private small business, does awesome work. If you want I can see about finding the e-mail address. It cost about $30 to ship. I don't have a pic from the top right now. I'd be happy to get one once I get the hood back though. Could be another 2 weeks.

cowl hood

theres a guy has a 3 inch one piece cowl induction hood and he sells it for 500 or 550.00 but it is an awesome hood.

I'll tell ya, don't settle for anything less than 4" or you'll kick yourself later. A buddy of mine bought a 2.5" scoop and has is on his hood. Functionally it's alright but it doesn't look near as good as the 4-6" scoops. Unlimited Products makes fiberglass hoods with build in scoops too, right around $500 . . . all the way up to 9". I think you'd have a hard time seeing with more than 6" though.

Hmmmmm,
Lets see, $450 for the hood,$125 for shipping, $400 in body work to make it presentable(thanks to unlimited products lack of attention to detail.) Another $150 in paint and primer, $60 in stone guard for the inner side to cover up the shotty work from U.P. . I guess someone is willing to spend $1185 to have a hood with a 4" cowl induction.

I've got $100 into the scoop (with shipping) and $30 into the hood. I spent about another $30 on fiberglass junk to blend it and the finishing work and paint will cost me another $150 through a friend who does bodywork. The best way to do these once they're glassed in is to use Bondo from the scoop out to the ridge to give it a totally smooth appearance with no seams. So I've got about $300 into it by the time it's finished, not counting my own time and work.

Btw, if you can do the finishing work yourself you can take about $100 off that. I don't have the eye for detail or the patience. I just did the rough blend and left the rest to someone who wouldn't smash the whole hood with a 4lb hammer then they got pizzled.
