hood scoop (read inside before flaming!!)
sorry guys, i know you all are going to get on my case for putting a hood scoop on my car, but here's my dilemma...
The LT-1 i put in my engine bay doesn't quite fit, so i'm planning for the worst...that is having to cut a chunk out of the hood and put a scoop there. And no i can't shim it down or lower it any more, the motor mounts are built and the engine is as low as it can go...i still need 2 1/2 inches.
So, here's my plea...
could you guys help me find a tasteful, subtle hood scoop that's relatively cheap? I know that's asking a lot, but i don't have a whole buttload of money to spend on fancy expensive crap
Thanks a lot guys!

Hood Scoop
NOT FLAMING - but for me, a rebuilt 2.5 would be cheaper than a hood scoop! 
O.k, let's be for real. What sizing H & V are you looking for?

haha! ummm...well i'm not sure what you mean by H & V but it needs to be at least 2.5 inches tall towards the front (i was thinking a cobra jet style hood scoop, maybe a Boss? check out item number 120403150787 and tell me what you think). I don't want it to look way out of place, but i also don't want to have to mess with stuff too much to get it to work right.

oh duh...umm i'm not quite sure off the top of my head, i can't go out and measure it, but i don't think it needs to be real big...maybe 12" X 24" tops? i don't have a problem going longer or wider, but i think it might be to dramatic for the subtle lines of the car if it was any smaller than that
i'd love to do a carrera gt scoop, but it's not big enough!

this is a stock intake that's just been ported and powdercoated, so i don't think i could get 2.5 inches out of a different intake...plus my stock intake was ruined...so i'm gonna stick with it

Draw a triangle from Raleigh to Fayetteville to Wilmington. In the middle is the Hog capital of the world - Sampson County, Clinton. I believe we have more hogs in this county than there are people in the U.S.A. That's why we need such fast cars, to out run the smell!

30,000 hogs a day.
Nice RX-stable you have there BTW...very nice.
Sorry for the hi-jack...back to the scoop.
