CAD Pics Of Our Newest Air Scoop Design

I just plain love refining an already excellent design. This new design is the perfect! They are being built now, don't have any yet but very soon we will.

By eliminating some of the bracketry and streamlining the design, we not only lost some weight but lost some cost too, which will be reflected in the new lower price when they're finished. We also widened the front opening one more inch to 23" but kept the 1" tall configuration for ground clearance issues.

It will have more up/down adjustment, front/back adjustment, and will fit all F150 trucks from 98 up to the new 04 Lightning, and Harley's. Notice the front contour is changed to match the bumper covers.








You likey?

Tim

I would like to see a side scoop, drivers fender side, feeding the open hole on the inside fender.
Something similar like the old mustang fighters had during WW2.

We couldn't stay in business very long if we did that. I feel like the old style will sell like hotcakes in the classifieds though.

Will the bumper bolts thread easier with the new scoop?

Also when are you getting those new AF1 Pipes in? Any pics/specs?

one naca duct mounted on each side of the scoop would work great for that

My dad wanted one like that as well. I was going to surprise him with it. I went as far as to make a mold out of two part expanding foam for fiberglass. It had the same contour as the head light so when you stood 5' to the side of the truck and even with the front of drivers door it would not interfere with seeing the turnsignal. It also followed the lines of the fender. It would have given an opening of 9" tall and about 4" in width. Then he decided to go with a turbo and I scraped the idea.
