![]() However the installer screwed up the holes so I ended up with two larger stretched triangular holes instead of the six I had anticipated. My original plan was to drill six large holes, centered above the air cleaner, in a one, two, two, one pattern. I think if you have the body shop pay attention to the edge of the scoop (a bit of filler, fitting, and sanding to get a uniform edge and fit/gap) then having a seam between the hood and scoop looks very good. I have a bolt-on scoop on my stock metal hood (not shown in the current sig picture). Here's a link to the local supplier I'd get the scoops from If there is risks to using these I'll gladly pony up the money and deal with the headaches that come along with the fiberglass hoods.but wanted to ask. Does this hurt the integrity of the hood and would it make it weaker or prone to flexing/flaking?Ģ) Would it be appropriate to put body filler on the seam between the bolt-on scoop and the hood to smooth the transition? Seems would be prone to cracking. I know there isn't much benefit but putting a scoop on a hood w/o having a hole there seems wrong. I've seen both the bolt-on and bond-on scoops from a local supplier and I'm wondering if anyone has experience using these? Of the two I'm thinking the bolt-on would be more secure and look better but my concerns are these ġ) I'd like to cut a hole in the hood to make it "functional". ![]() I'm not overly concerned about the weight savings a fiberglass hood would give me. I'd previously resigned myself to getting a fiberglass hood but I'm not a fan of hood pins and the typical fitment issues with fiberglass parts. I'm getting ready to send my car to the body shop for some extensive body work and a new paint job so I need to make a decision sooner rather than later on what to do. I'm wanting to have a Shelby style hood on my 1966 coupe. ![]()
