Hood Scoop Options

I made a quick 20 second search using the search function for hood scoop and realize i hate that it didnt filter to 3rd gens. So my question is what options do we have if we want the visually appealing non functional hood scoop? I saw Max Powell(youtuber) (i think hes on the forum also) with a carbon fiber hood from roadrunner fiberglass as an option(dont know the price). Do you guys know any other choices.

 

Go to the 3rd gen hood swappin thread, there's a whole bunch of people who trade hoods. Some people don't want the scoop, others do. But FYI finding someone in your area with a paint matched hood that is willing to trade for a non-scoop hood is very rare.

 

I am on there. Its more like 98% want the scoop and 2% actually willing to trade. Even with cash on top.

 

I have a RKSport hood it’s fiberglass.

 

My latest method has been emailing private sellers who are trying to sell their 3rd gens with scoop and asking to swap with cash on top. I really dont think this would affect the value on their vehicle at all or if they end up trading in if the dealer would even notice but i could be wrong. Haven't found anyone willing to do it yet.

Buy it

 

This one? If so, how much lighter is it than the stock one?

@mesojdm was talking about potentially making a carbon fiber version, but for now is just making the scoop portion. Not sure what his future plans entail.

I don’t recall it being much lighter but then again I have installed redline hood struts since I got it, I was the first to have it, they test fit it on my truck.

 

I'm working with Roadrunner on a group buy for the Sport/Pro hood, if anyone's interested.

I have this sitting in its box in my garage. All my local body shops want $1000+ to paint it Barcelona red. Anybody have ideas for cheaper options?

 

Ouch!! I think I piad no more than $350 here in SoCal. What about a vinyl wrap?

 

I live 100 miles from the nearest big city that might have a place to do that. So I really haven't checked into it. It's currently gray primer. Is vinyl wrapping something a novice can do myself? Any helpful sites or youtube videos?
