If it's getting hot, I'd toss on an electric fan as well.

The fiberglass hoods are 500-700 bucks. AARQualityFiberglass has some.

I just made the original one functional.


Unfortunately, it's still in paint. [:@]

Its a custom built by me from a70s ford truck i choped the sides and 2in in the center. It came out good!! I also added tow hooks right below it, andlights.I call it a PUSH BAR no wimpy grill gaurd for me Its strong i do use it everyonce awile. It gives a good attitude! The tow hooks I use alot too many trucks dont know how to drive offroad. so i have to pull them out.

I finally got my hood back. I only need to use my electric fan in bad traffic. So, you might just be able to use a scoop and that should work.
