Why add 30 lbs for a hood which just looks good when you can cut a hole and add a lund scoop and it be functional?

don't do it... they look silly and goofy.
get a civic and put an erector set wing on it... just to get it out of your system. those stick-on pieces of crap look so silly.
why cheapen the front of a good looking truck???

Kind of a silly thought. You're afraid to add 30lbs to a 5000lb truck...
Sure, if you don't care about the look of the hood, that's one thing. But I hope it's not the only thing preventing you from putting one on.

and yes I do happen to care how the hood looks, and the lund scoops do not look bad in my opinion, I have seen them first hand many times.
your assumption is a SILLY THOUGHT

the lund scoops may not look the best, however here is the thing to keep in mind...
stock hood, aluminum, nice and LIGHTWEIGHT! add a lund scoop that functions to bring in cool air and its a great hood!
aftermarket hoods look really neat, wouldnt mind a nice cowl of my own, however im unwilling to put 30+ lbs on the nose of my truck just for the look.

Has anyone seen this new model of hood scoop from Lund... the large single big scoop? I think it looks pretty cool but wanted to get some opinions from all of you. I can buy this local from a truck customizing place for $160, for the part and also painted clearcoated and installed.

I got one question, what the hell is a Scroop? lol
Just kidding Jeff, I couldn't help it.
In my opinion, I don't care for the stick on things either, but hey it's your truck so if you like it go for it.

Someone on these boards has done that with one lund scoop. I am thinking about it also. I just need to figure out a way to block off under the scoop for bad weather.
