That is why I would like a cold air intake via a ram air style intake on the hood.. But I don't like the big scoops.

I have to say the hood looks good. But it's hard to see over the center sometimes.

I have since eyeballed quite a bit of the autofab glass. It is top of the line fit and finish. I still can't justify the price on something I intentionally beat the shit out of but its a great product.

I guess my question is why not make the hook look just like the Raptor? I would personally rather get a set of louvers from a Raptor and graft them in. Hey that's just me though.

Weight and sheet metal cracking. I like the functional louvers without it looking like a rice rocket hood.

Agreed, I don't want my Bronco to look like a Transformer, but I do want to get some of the heat out from under the hood.

Not sure if anyone else knows, but I have heard Mike McQueen has passed away back in April after a protracted illness. McQueen Fiberglass is still open, but Mike is no longer with us. RIP, Mike,you will be missed.

Not a fan of louvers on the hood. They direct large amounts of dirt/dust at your windshield/face......
