okay, so its starting to get pretty hot out now and the other day waiting at a red light my temp gauge started to climb a bit. I was wondering what you guys think of putting a hood scoop on the jeep. I want to bring in cold air to help cool and also for the air intake for better mpgs. and my hood is scratched to hell so it would help in hiding that lol. I was thinking of one of these scoops :

i think it could come out pretty cool if i do it clean, which i plan on doing.

theres also this type :

I wanna here your guys input. if its a good idea or if i should just kill it now. also, if anyone has pictures i would appreciate that. thanks!

I would just do the Lebaron hood vents if it was me, cheap at a junkyard and look pretty good.

But that cowl would be pretty sweet if you could get it to come out right.

A forward facing scoop won't do any good to cool the engine bay. Or get air to the intake due to the position of filter inlet.

You'll be better off with 2 small scoops with the opening facing the windshield.

I got these for 25.00 for the pair off eBay. My XJ never went above 195* while wheeling all weekend in Moab when I was on the trails for 6-7hrs a day.

Do they still sell these on the eBay?

They look great do they have a drip pan on the under side? What are they called or do they have a P/N?

Ive seen your jeep before. I love how it came out but i like the one big scoop in the center instead of two smaller ones. Even if i move the filter to the scoop it wouldnt help?

Tom95YJ

No drip pans under then the mesh is setback about an inch from the opening. I can wash the jeep spraying the scoops and they don't get water under the hood I tested for like 5 minutes.

Tom95YJ

Yep I got them a month ago I searched hoodscoop they cost 12.00 ea

Tom95YJ

Not really unless you were at hiway speeds but it wouldn't create a ram air effect unless you build a custom intake box that fits the opening snug

That was kinda what I was planning on doing. I travel highway everyday pretty much so I think it would help. I don't want it coming out ricer-ish tho.

Is it this one by chance? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Decorative-Air-Flow-Intake-hood-Scoop-Vent-Bonnet-Cover-Black-Universal-/271199158054?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f24babf26&vxp=mtrThis one looks similar, but the tape for application kind of scares me.

What all did you do on your install for attaching them? Cut a hole and tape/rivet/bolt them on? I'd really like to see some pics from the bottom side, those scoops look pretty boss.

Tom95YJ

Mine are the bottom ones the tape is pretty darn sticky. They are not going Anywhere

I drilled a bunch of holes and taped them on. I believe I have pics of the bottom side in my build thread. I am planning on using a cut off wheel to cut out the area I drilled holes on.

Damnit.
I cant decide if I like these or if they are rice.
