Hood Scoop

i want the double scoops like on the trans am WS6s. LUND makes them and they are on everything but i am thinking about getting them and making them a functional ram air system. i already have a cold air intake and an intake "helper" which is kind of like ram air but not quite. but if i do get them i am drilling the holes out in the front, getting a screen to put in it, and drilling holes in my hood, them making air ducts that go right up to the holes and straight to my filter. the only probblme i am having is the holes in the hood part. my truck is an 08 and i just kind of dont wanna ruin the hood but the other side of me is saying "oh it would be worth it"

if you are really talking about the stick on scoops, if you make them functional they will rip off driving down the road, not made to catch air.
now IMO get yourself a new hood totally. this will actually look good, and not "STUCK ON"

exactly. sure, a cowl hood or scoop hood can look great, but if you're going to do something, do it right and not some half-*** cheap way. trust me, more people see through it and laugh at that approach than people who actually think it looks good. put a functional one on that isn't held on by tape and you'll get the attention and performance that you're looking for. just trying to help you out man, and prevent you from making a mistake that you'll realize sooner or later.

well the flying off part i thought about and the 3M tape holds well but that is a lot of force lifting up on them. i think they are like $80. at least im pretty sure they are. not looking at those ones in autozone. and if i actually do it, i wanted to make them look like they are part of the hood. i mean get some silicone or SOMETHING to seal around the edges so there is no crease or gap between the scoops and the hood. i REALLY cant afford an actual ram air hood. that is like at least $400 plus most likely shipping, painting, installation. im thinking it would be at least $700 to get one and put it on. that is why i was thinking about doing a $100-$150 job. i know what you mean with the people seeing thru them but if you take the time to make it look good, it may be worth it. plus all that matters is that I like the look of it anyway. i was also thinking of possibly drilling holes to bolt them to the hood along with the 3M tape on them. if i do it i will have to test it out on back roads at different speeds to see if it pull up off the hood at all. then i may bolt them on if it comes up at all. that 3M tape is very strong, i think it may try to pull up a little bit but from my experience with it, i think it would hold on just fine. like i said the ONLY problem i am ahving is if i want to drill holes in my hood. its one of those things that if you do it, there is no going back. if it was an older truck i would have no problem doing it. or at least if it was paid off maybe. i still have 4.5 years to pay tho.
