    I have a grabber hood, that's no problem.

    the shop restoring my 72 maverick started on the non grabber hood, and did most of the bodywork on it. they are saying it would look pretty sick with a scoop.

    now the comet gt's came with a scoop, and they look sick.

    what do you all think? Grabber hood or scoop???

    what scoop do you guys suggest to use, since comet scoops don't grow on trees.

    I have had both on my Yellow Car .... They both look good ... but I chose the Grabber hood ... just because of it's rarity ... I wouldn't have a problem with either one.

    thanks for the suggestions, I want the grabber hood as well.

    I think I reached a happy medium. I'm going to do two hoods, the first being the stock maverick hood, and have it sprayed grabber blue like the rest of the car, and the second, my grabber hood, and perhaps get some custom paintwork done on that one.

    Stock hood with a Mustang scoop is my choice.
