    i dunno if any of you have thought of this before but taking the hood from a maverick grabber and in-between the two inlets put a comet's hood scoop(or maybe even a cowl induction) just a thought but if any of you have done this i wanna see it

    I've seen it done before and I agree it just does not look right. Too many scoops. I like clean simple lines myself.

    Sounds like the hood on one of those mad max cop cars.

    With all those scoops someone might mistake your car for a Pontiac Trans Am.

    Pontiac always amazed me with all the scoops, wings, spoilers, mouldings they applied to their cars. Looks like a rolling JC Whitney catalog.

    I have to agree with the other guys. 3 scoops is too busy looking. Besides, cutting or drilling a good grabber hood would be blasphemy!

    They kinda remind me of those body builders. Got bumps all over the place and its not always a pretty sight.
