The reason I had the Phord scoop on the car is that back in the 90's I got drunk one weekend, and decided I needed a velocity stack coming through the hood. So, I cut a hole and added the stack. I later grew tired of that look, and a buddy of mine gave me the Phord scoop. Sooooooo, I took care of my "holey" problem by adding the Phord scoop. The scoop doesn't look "bad," but I always thought it took away from the "factory" Trans Am racer look. So, I finally decided to do something about it. And I will also be changing up my paint scheme a bit when I add the new hood.
