    If you have a Grabber hood that needs to be replaced, you likely already have scoops. It's a cost issue. I'm hoping they'll produce some custom scoops for it.

    I have to agree that I would be more inclined to purchase a "complete" hood for $500, rather than one I still needed to add parts and bucks to make it complete. I am also glad they are repopping Maverick stuff, but in this case, a hood with the scoops stamped into them would be way cool......plus no more water leaking onto the engine.

    I agree 10o%. I see the removable scoops as a design flaw. If Ford was gonna make anything removable, it should have been the scoop grill openings, for the option to make them functional or not.

    I would guess that most Grabber hoods wanted are for a "Grabber clone" more than a replacement of a rusted out one...

    Is the peak in the center the same or dramatically different. I remember seeing the pic of one at SEMA and it didnt look right or maybe it was just the lighting it was hard to tell. Also there is a DIY tech shop near me that charges a membership to use their equipment and they have a 3d scanner and a 3d printer at one of their locations, also CNC machines.
