Installing a hood scoop
I require a hood scoop due to clearance issues.
I have looked at Toledo Pro's Hi Rise hood and love it, but do not love the $1400 price tag.
How much would it cost to glass in a scoop and not look ghetto.

Not to bad. Summit has a good selection. Get one lay it on the hood and outline it then grind twice the thickness of the scoop lip if possible. The get ya some SMC adhesive from local auto paint store with the right prep solvent and glue her down just overfilling your outline grove allow to set up sand etc etc and there ya have it.
scoop, supplies etc $600 vette paint is not cheap.

You can bond that down and paint, and look fine.....Im grafting my hood up in the center which is alot of work. I might have to look into that part though. Would save me some time....
As a boat guy of 20 years let me say ANYTHING is possible with composites....But the guy doing the work has to have the tools and knowledge, other wise it will be GHETTO.....
