I have an L88 hood scoop on my 89 rs. It feeds the open element more air,vents some of the hot air under the hood and looks great.

un4givin89,

How much are you paying for that IROC? When you get back, I will let you know just how jealous I am?

What happens when it gets wet, i.e. when you drive in the rain?

when it rains or i go to the car wash little to no water gets in behind the opening of my scoop. the aerodynamics of the scoop push the rain away from the opening so its a perfect addition to any car.

i've got a z28 hood from an 84 that has the scoops that where ment for a carb. i couldn't keep the original air box, so i jurry rigged something up for the mean time. i'd like to figure out a way of making it like a ram air set up, i just can't figure out how.
