Thoughts on this hood scoop?

[Fawnbuster]

without a doubt, if you put on this hood scoop, you have to complete the ensemble with these equally distasteful stick-ons....

I'd have to stop with just a hood scoop, those plastic appliques make it look like a wanna be Avalanche and those things are ugly

Hey but the tail gate sticker has the low low price of $300!

Reviving this old post since many more scoops have come out and I think some are worth a look

This is not my truck, but I like the looks of it...

Apparently they make these in different colors as well

If you like it Rene' that's all that matters. Make that truck your own, and enjoy the ride.

Owner might have a vanity plate that readers "Pegger". hahaha

...with a chromed barbed wire license plate frame. Rangers already have fake fender vents, that's enough for me.

 

[Rowdy Ranger]

Hell No! That looks like shit!

............. Rangers already have fake fender vents, that's enough for me.

Fake? Opinions vary. They are "vents", and they do vent air out of the engine compartment.

I didn't know that! I thought they were fake like the F-Series.

lets be real....its a side vent that has a minimal pathway out for hot air

we are venting more hot air out from the undercarriage and the lower windscreen vents than anything appreciable coming from our side vents.

Class 8 tractor trucks' side vents are functional air intake for the engine...most other personal trucks are mimicking their big brother and use them for badging...

Is it for hot air, did somebody write that?

There are seals along the back of the hood to keep the air in the engine compartment from exiting at the lower windshield, and the vents at the bottom of the windshield are not for venting engine compartment air.

My only point is they stamped a huge hole in the sheet metal adjacent to the vent. It does indeed "vent".

A lot of performance cars have vents to dissipate pressure from all the air coming into the engine compartment.

I joined this forum looking to have maybe meet some friends, being these Rangers are new and back on the road. But just to read posts of people bashing guys and gals for whatever mods they done to there rides, is not my thing. I've always given anyone or anybody respect for what they've done to there vehicles. To each its own but I'm not gonna tell them that I don't like there truck for what they've done. Time to move on, have fun bashing each others truck.

I’m sorry for that Glen. I think your Ranger looks great!. For me, at age 58, I don’t care if everyone likes what & how I do things. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Thank the Lord, we’re not all the same. How boring would life be if we all drove around in identical, bland trucks.

I appreciate that, its not a big thing. I get compliments all the time here at home. Just has never been my thing bashing people about what they're done to there rides. I love going to car shows and seeing things people have done to there rides. There great people and I always enjoy talking about what they've done, regardless if I like it or not. But I can tell you one thing I'm not going to tell them that. Its there thing

Well said sir! Actually I realized that won't fit the US rangers anyway. The hood is different.
