    If you would have been about 2000 miles closer I would have donated my hood for the cause.................I've been thinking about getting one like on your car...........or buying a glass hood and putting the scoop on.

    Looks like it maybe friday before another big update, dealing with a material backorder for the lettering.. they promised me it would be on his doorstep at 10am friday so he should have them ready that afternoon.

    I drove it home tonight got a little tire rubbing issue in the rear but nothing i didnt expect with the 29" tall tire and being lowered.

    That 1" out of that scoop really makes it look much better IMHO. They are just too tall for a Maverick to look right out of the box.

    Sometimes, "looks" takes a backseat to "performance".......it's all about what you're after!
