That's actually grotesque.
Maybe he's talking about me. I have a steel hood on my Ranger that was rusting. I decided, prior to painting it, to put the old hood scoop that used to be on my Mustang on it. Drilled a bunch of 1.5 holes with a hole saw in the area the scoop mounts. It mounts with four studs and nuts, so it is easy to put on and take off. Also cut two large slots in the hood just inboard of the style lines and put in 2013/14 hood vents. I did these because I want to put some on my Mustang, and used the Ranger as a guinea pig to see if I could do it. Turned out bitching. After all was done, repainted the hood satin black. It's all good. Further plans are I have two small scoops I made from something else that look decent. Going to punch four 1.25 holes in the hood overtop the CAI air filter, then mount the scoops to the hood over the holes. They're already satin black.
I'll snap a few pictures when the wind stops howling and I can clean all the damn dust off the thing. May not be til tomorrow.
The scoop on the Ranger is the one in the first picture. It fit the curvature of the hood just fine. The Mustangs was replaced with a much larger Boss 429 style scoop.
Btw, when the hood heats up from the engine running, the area under the scoop doesn't get near as hot as it does everywhere else. If I idled excessively, I guess it would. And those two heat vents get real hot, due to the hot air constantly flowing out them.
