hmmmm, cant say im a fan of this hood scoop. nay.
But only because it might look cheap, if the hood was all one piece it might look better.

I think it looks fine. Just like it was said above, it looks a lot like early Bronco scoops. Let us know what you do to make it functional.

While I'm still a Newbie here, one thing I have learned already is this: when somebody say's "it's your Jeep, do what makes you happy" or "if you like it, that's what matters", is just like saying that a "blind date" has a good sense of humor.

I agree that you may want to think about turning it around, so it goes from being a functional "ram air intake" to a "cowl air intake" type of operation. Maybe move it back closer to the windshield and use it as a cowl.

For me, I'm far more interested in the pre-fab AEV and TMD hoods. I think both are stronger and have been thoroughly tested by their manufactures before release. Just my two cents...

I think it looks good on your Jeep. Would look ricey on a stock Jeep, but it works with your rig.
