Ouch. Last week, a driver ran a red light and damaged my front clip... so I am working on the project.
One of the things I want to add is a hood scoop. It will be artistically (I hope) matched with the newly designed flames... and I am going to install a fiberglass bolt on scoop, not a plastic tape on scoop.
Question: should I make it “functional”, by cutting openings in the hood under the scoop? It seems like it is more “honest”, but will it be more trouble than it is worth when it rains? What do our experts on this Forum say?
Thanks in advance!
