Default what do you guys think about this hood scoop?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Think this would look good on the c4 hood? or should I stick to a cowl?
I'm having trouble picturing it on our cars.

thanks!

A little too sharp and pointy for the Vette IMO.

I don't think that would look very good on a vette.

JMHO but I don't like mixing styling from different years. Cross dressing comes to mind.

Nah. Wrong style, and it'd be tricky to integrate with with the doublehump 'flatchested' hood.

It's not even a good version of the original L-88 scoop

To each their own, but not my taste. Admittedly, I'm not much one for body mods on the C4. I prefer to let my HP get the attention.

I was kinda leaning toward no, but I couldn't picture it in my mind on the c4 hood. I'll just buy a 4" cowl and put it on instead.

thanks for the .02 tho

I like the L-88 hood . . . on a chrome bumper.


I don't think it would look that great on a C4. A cowl insduction would look good of done well.

that's what i'd do saw a red 85-87 vette driving the other day with a 4" cowl hood. it looked bad *** in my rear view. very aggressive looking you won't be disappointed.
