    Those "rocker panels" are interesting. Would be neat if they offered any kind of protection from rocks/scrapes etc., might have save my door skin a time or two. Doubt they do though. Would probably get ripped off on the trail.

    Right? Since they don't actually require drilling. I'm digging their concept though. Wonder when their products are actually going to go on sale. And the price.......

    Visually, I like the scoop. I don't know why. Maybe since I grew up with scoops on Irocs and camaros?
    I just don't want it on my truck. I have a hard enough time looking over the hood. I have to stick my body out of the window at times to navigate around obstacles. I think the hood would make it just a bit worse for me. Maybe if I was about 3-4 inches taller, it wouldn't be an issue.

    As soon as I climbed into a Sport and looked out the windshield I said "nope, not for me." Didn't even take it for a test drive.

    Exactly. I'm getting +38hp after the port match.
    Did you have to upgrade your finortner filter to a 3"? I was getting a lot of blowback from the sphingler spout...

    In all seriousness, that's a GREAT idea. I did a search, but couldn't find one on this. Anyone know of a good one that fits/ clean installation procedure?
