Hood mods

[MrWilson]

What do we have in the way of hood mods? R/A's Cowls (traditional, and non),Scoops,Shakers. I do like the cowl on the t8r, but cowls are overdone. Any new ideas?

There's not much you can do, really. I don't like the look of a hood scoop on the gen 2 especially. This car is the only one I've seen with it. I don't like the hood scoop but I the car is still a 9/10 just cause it's bad looking, and very unique.

The cowl hood which I am sure you are familiar with...

Thats it!

i thought it would be sweet to get the shaker assembly off of a mach 1 and strap that on the mark.

 

[MrWilson]

but they are fake "shakers" arent they.

Yes, it would be very difficult to make a functional shaker hood assembly on a Mark and would take a lot of customization and time. Most likely not worth it, whether it be the amount of time/ money or both.

Plus, from a couple photoshops I've seen of it on the Mark, it looks like crap.

They actually are somewhat real shakers, meaning the air actually comes throught them.... but its simply routed to the normal airbox position and then into the motor and from all I've seen its not really worth anything performance wise but it does look cool. I agree though that it'd look rather stupid on the hood of a MkVIII, the lines are not there at all for something like that, a suble 1.5-2" cowl on the Gen 1 I think would look best, Gen 2s..... can't decide what would look good, maybe some of those pontiac snouts.... maybe not.

well that means they are just functional, not "real" shakers. To be a real shaker you must shake, hence shaker. But yeah, them R/A from the old trans ams (70-75's) would look good on a second gen.

they do shake, they sit on top of the engine, and they move.

are they mounted to the engine, completly free of the hood, creating a hole when the hood is opened?

 

[CTX-SLPR]

yup, exactly
