I'm seriously considring this,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
It's a stick on but hides the seams. with a little black silicone and a dremel I could make it functional, I believe. This thing is less than 10% what they want. I know we have a lot of owners here, if not all you guys with the real deal. But this is a valid option.I feel Only if I'm willing to scalpel my hood. This aftermarket mod can go both ways, so no ******* matches!! I want honest feelings on whether this is rican , Ghetto, or Hey great deal, glad it's functional.Not only can the install be made in a day, but I also would oversee the dremmel cuts, the ''guttah'' screen. So some expertise will also be involved. Made out of fiberglass. :birgits_tiredcoffee

A little more drastic than that I'm afraid lol. ^^ wrong item, good price but issue's with vibrating fiberglass hoods.

Right not the whole hood thou. just the scoop. Thats the doubledged sword here in my opinion. The vibration isn't there (it's your steel hood,) but the scoop part, thats the thing I need clearification on. Isn't less than what it is? I mean I can make it functional. But At the same time I wanna show this truck off, being the limited number of them. I told the gf not to hold her breath, I'm hoping this thread has legs, so I can read it over in the winter month's before I decide to do this or not. Let's face it , without a connection in the body shop a new hood is gonna cost you double the expense of just buying one imo. :naughty:

I wouldnt do it../

truckin151 · Nov 20, 2010

The rumble bee style hood scoop looks good in some cases and horrible in others. Its not functional, so its just for looks (not to big on that IMO). Its your truck and your money so do what you want but if it were me I would pass

Yeah I get the rumble bee, association, (non functional) But I would remedy that myself. And make it functional. Still not feeling it? :005:

Cutting a hole in the hood and making it functional makes it better but its just not my style I guess. I know what looks good to me and that scoop just doesnt do it, for me that is.

Tacky, cheap, and probably wont go as well as you think. I personally would never ever think of doing that to anything I own, and that's with an open mind. If you wanna go cheap Rocket, your gonna get cheap, I promise you. So my vote, not ever... in a million years. Sorry man.

I used to want a scoop, but over time I didn't like it as much because it was too easy to tell that it was a stick-on or nonfunctional.

Off_Road_Teacher · Nov 20, 2010

My honest opinion is that it is a waste. It will come out looking exactly like what it is, a stick on hood scoop. There is a reason why people make fun of stick on accessories, they look cheap. My advice is save up and get a hood with a real scoop, no stick on stuff. You will regret doing stick on every time you see a truck with a real scoop.

Redtruck-VA · Nov 20, 2010

I want to do something with my hood, but haven't found anything that I like. I wouldn't do that one. keep looking...

AF_Hemi · Nov 20, 2010

The ONLY way i'd even begin to think about giving approval for that hood is if you did a ton of body work to make it completely seamless. im talking lots of metal fab and bondo to make it a smooth transition -- the scoop would become part of the hood. Then again its fiberglass so you'd have a real hard time doing it.

My vote is absolutely not. Cheap, tacky, poor mans way out. Do you really wanna have the same stick on scoop as Hammer? c'mon man

Hammers truck is one of the few that actually look good with it on there to me. Again the ones that do look "good" are few and far between.
