Here are a couple ideas that me and a buddy thought of when mounting my cowl scoop to the hood. Here it is:[list=1][*]On the inside of the scoop (with clean surfaces everywhere of course) spray it with a coat of primer, then follow with a coat of under-body coating, then follow with a some expanding foam. This is to prevent water from building up in the fiberglass.[/list=1]
So what do yall guys think, would all of the water proofing help prevent water from building and seeping between the hood and scoop? I have seen cowl hood scoops that have (I guess) had water sitting in the bottom of them for a long time and the water eventually leeked out, which is not pretty.
Thanks

for your purpose- i would just buy a cowl hood

the scoop is basically to cut your actually hood for more clearance and attach the cowl with either rivets or a bonding agent- more of a race car kinda thing

 

The way my mine was installed:
sanded to bare metal, bead of urethane laid around the perimeter where the cowl would sit, then rivited, fiberglassed, and bondoed.
Kinda ****ty pic but u get the idea, I don't think water anywhere will be an issue once she's all done.

 

naw - no way i am gonna spend the $$$ on a GOOD cowl hood. scoops can be made to look very good. mine will. i do plan to rivet the hood down.


IHI - yours looks good...

 

If ya know anybody lookin for cheap cowl's I still got the guy's E-mail that I bought this one from, mines a short 4", but he also had a long 2" that would blend well with a factory camero or non GTA hood $75 is what he charges and the guy that put it on was impressed with the out of box fit so I'd say that's a good thing. I needed the full 4" for my set-up though.

 

I think that i bought a cowl off of the same guy his work is very good and i recomend him for the cowl scoop

 

I got a 2 1/2 inch cowl scoop if someone wants it. I bought it for a car I sold...$20 and its yours!
