    3 scoops would kinda look like one of those mad max cop cars,paint it yellow w/blue & red stripes and it'd be cool.:rolleyes:Ok,not really,but that's what I think of every time I see a Grabber hood with "auxillary air ducting" installed.:D

    The integration of the 3rd scoop, kind of like a cyclops, looks better than I thought possible, I'd drive it and take the flak, provided it was already done when I got it. Don't think I would have the courage to do that myself. Secondly, I had forgot all about the 3 scoop MFP cars from Mad Max, thanks for digging up those visuals!

    i thought Mad Max's black interceptor has the same hood on it except the middle scoop is obviously missing to make room for the blower, but they look diffrent now

    That dont look bad at all. Looks pretty tough I think. If you like it do it. Seeing pics makes all the diffrence.
