Have any of you guys done any custom work to your scoops? Got pics?

I was watching some tv this morn and saw a carbon fiber hood with the scoops with a screen over them. Thought that might look kinda cool, also thinking about some deep blue leds set way back in the scoops. I dont want them really noticeable, but just a slight dark blue haze type effect, barely noticeable.

Ive seen the svo scoop on a tbird hood which looked neat. but i dont agree on the ricer aspect of it. with the screens and funny stuff

Im definately not looking for a ricer look. Ive seen screens on some beefy mucle cars that looked good. Maybe a vertical screen set in the back of the scoops? Just brainstorming, gotta be a way to do something with the scoops that wont take away from the personality of the hood. Im looking for a <meaner?> look. Not ricey.

Before I put the new fenders on my car I seriously considered stamping louvers into the passenger side fender for a cold air intake and fabricate a box on the inside of the fender. I wanted to keep the look of the 88 hood. The SVO hood mentioned above looks real nice.

by far, the best coustom scoop i'v seen hear and anywhere for that matter is the stock one from a SVO. one of the guys hear molded it into his TC and it look wicked. im sure somebody will post a picture.

I know a guy that has a mold to make the SVO scoop from fiberglass that can be grafted on to a flat hood. This was pulled from a stock SVO
scoop Wink I can put you in touch with him if anyone in SERIUOSLY interested in doing one of these.

A less expensive option is J C Whitney. Since the 70's they no longer carry crome or rhine stones but they have a lot of the popular styles from the scoop days of the 60's and 70's. Most are made of fiberglass and cost about $60. I don't know who their manufacturer is but I've never had a problem returning items I didn't like. Or...a Mustang magazine might have an advertiser for that product. A TC owner must be resourcefull.
