Does that guy have them premade ON the hoods? or just the cowl and u have to get the work done? I am really hoping that someone down the line has a FUNCTIONAL cowl like that for the 00-05 montes...

Hey WizKidd, If you decided to ever have a body shop do a custom hood like that, dual, I would go in on it with you, maybe a two car discount? I would be more than excited to see something like that down the road...

hahaha. I am curious to see how that works. Cause I actually wouldnt mind a FUNCTIONAL one, but hell, I am so torn between what to do. Kinda like buying a computer, you want the best, but ur afraid the second you buy one, a BETTER ONE is gonna come out. So my luck, ill buy the hood scoop from pfyc or something of the sort, and just then, WizKidd will come up with a great dual scoop idea that he has made, and looks incredible...

decisions decisions....

If you at the pic closely, you'll see a little bit of an overhang on the top...that'll prevent rain from getting in...for hood run-off, you'd need a small 1/4-inch lip along the bottom edge so any water on the hood/windshield would run around the scoop and not down into the engine bay.

I had to do the same thing on my Mustang years (and years!) ago.

i was thinking more like, heavy down poor with lots of winds sending water rushing into the bay

a 1/4 inch lip wont stop that :-/
