Exterior Hood Scoop — — —

Looking for an aggressive look that fit the brand, I found a Boss 429 Hood Scoop online that fit what I was looking for. Cut a couple of openings for fresh air, and six holes to mount the scoop and gave it a quick paint to match. I did have to do a little fiberglass repair on a corner, but that was easy. It’s tall. Fortunately I sit up high enough and can see around the scoop.  I can also attest to the truck being able to get fresh air in and let warm air out.
