Well.....after having the hood scoop on for a little while now I have to take it back to the body shop for some adjustments. They need to make some brackets for the front grill of the scoop....it's starting to lift away from the hood a little from the air hitting it. Nothing major.....just some things to tidy up since they had to mdoify it to work on my hood.

Well if you keep it under 90mph you shouldn't have a problem So how does it feel to have the scoop? People trying to race you more? I think you need to do another photoshoot and give us one from the drivers seat.

LOL....under 90...too funny. And that's a good idea...tomorrow I'll take a picture from inside the driver's seat and post it. I had to get it fixed before I leave Wed night. I'm going up to Michigan for the Nascar race....I work on the fire-rescue crew as a pit road firefighter. Every race I work in one of the drivers' pit stalls.

Thnx Limited...and thnx Cowboy for sticking with it being my truck and not me. As far as future plans I would like to put a set of Ground Force springs on it...but that if I do it's not gonna be untill I have to replace the struts. To me it's kinda stupid to tear them all apart and put lowering spring on when I'll have to tear it all apart again when it's time to replace the struts. And as for rims...not sure what I'm gonna do. I'm the type of guy that likes to stick with Ford factory rims...so if I do it might be another set of bigger Ford rims but then I have to figure out which ones will work with the TPMS that my truck has. And of course available cash always plays into any future mods....lol
