I think you're right .. The Scoopit IS " dipped down" in center.. I have a Fiberglass Comet hood in my trailer with a scoop also but my scoop is only THREE inches and is the "four place" hood fasteners ( Lift Off) type. I got the hood when I bought a Race COMET from a guy here in South Florida ..I had Doors, Hood , Fenders , and trunk deck. Sold everything but the hood .. I ran that for awhile on MY Comet .. I now have a metal hood so the Fiberglass unit is tucked away in a parts trailer behind my shop if anyone you know is interested.. Cometized
