$500.00 non-functional hood scoop breaks down as such. 2% in design/production costs and 98% donated to the Center of Neurological Studies to continue funding research on why the human brain finds it necessary to fit non-functional parts to a vehicle. Ford Motor Company is a large donator themselves spending much money on design and engineering of non-functional fender vents.

I saw a Tundra TRD Pro the other day. Sold for $88,000 with markups over MSRP. It had all kinds of black plastic scoops, cowls and vents on it. lol

No hood flutter from mine, but I left my air dam on and unmolested. And yeah, I spent the first few months assuming the fender vents were functional…. As ugly as the 23’s are, at least they have functional fender vents!

Lots of silly children stick on plastic parts that do nothing for their vehicles but they think it makes it look better. Ridiculous wings and such. I laugh but to each their own I guess. My biggest laugh is those fart can mufflers.

I put a new hood with a scoop on my previous truck. the whole thing was 1 piece fiberglass. they painted and clear coated to match using my door paint code. it cost me about 1400
I did it mainly becuase on the 6.4, they were notorious for exhaust leaks ...and broken bolts and such and crazy body off labor to fix...only to have it crap out again. the leak would stink up the inside of the cabin becuase the cabin vent in...was right above the area that leaked and the fumes had no other place to go but into my cab.
but..with the hood scoop...there were vents to free air at the rear edge of the hood as well as the scoop opening....no more cabin fumes.
