There are the aftermarket hoods with them built in and it is a bolt on job. There are also universal ones, some are stick on, some are weld in.

The ones I have are stick on's that I custom made to be functional and riveted down for extra security. I got mine from www.jegs.com

Speaking of functional, hey crazy, you ever have trouble driving in rain with those being functional? thats been my big hold-up on getting a shaker style hood, dont want to hydro-lock the motor so wasn't sure about how rain would affect it

When I cut open my hood, I did it long enough where the back end drops below the air intake to drain the water if needed. It never rains enough here anyways to cause a worry.

It doesn't rain a ton where I live, but I've never had any problems with rain coming in my scoops. If it ever got to be a problem, I think I would just cover the front part of my air filter with a piece of aluminum or something.
