[donth13]

Does anyone know how to make the 2000-2004 gt hood scoop funcional or does anyone make a kit for it

not worth it. you're just going to get crap in the engine bay and make it nice and dirty.

If you really want one, why not just get the Mach 1 kit?

Or get a nice Cobra hood without a fake scoop. I do not really like my fake scoop all that much but it looks better than the V-6 hood at least...

Its function is to hold water when you wash the car so it can puke it out after you wax it.

Exactly!!! That is one of the reasons I put on the Stalker Hood ... couldn't stand all the water on the hood and windshield after a bath!!

So true!

lol i park on a hill and let all the water drain out and get whatever i can with a towel. lol because i hate seeing water drips after i dry the whole car and wax it.

Water runs out for a good 24 hours

Try CPR on the stock scoop after you wash it. Works wonders.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Cpr?

 

[Tripoli]

Yup, pump the sucker with you palms like you're trying to bring someone back to life. It'll blow most of the trapped water out.

Shaker hood, thats all I asked the question before. Nobody has really tried it (I thought some kind of incorporation of the mach shaker IN the scoop, but I see height issues)

I just open and slam the hood closed 3 or 4 times. Gets most of it out.

Or buy a Silver Mustang next time!

I can go three weeks without washing my car, but i still get guys at work saying "Car looks good...you wash it yesterday?"



Actually, that Mr. Clean autodry system works awesome. I make sure i SOAK the scoop area with the autodry mist so that when it does run down, it dries spot free. That plus the fact that silver hides all the dirt means i have zero issues with the water in the scoop problem.

there was a thread about this before, i think it was before the crash though....anyway there is a ram air kit out there somewhere some guy in my town has it that you put a new grill in your scoop cut a hole in your hood and there is a tube that carries the air much like the way the shaker system works now ive never seen this online but it looked nice on his car if i see him around ill ask where he got it and post it.....i guess i really wasnt much help

Kar Kraft used to make one that uses the factory scoop, i considered it before installing my shaker. glancing at their site, i don't see it now though.

Dammit this is so true... I hate that . The car is all nice and dry no a single drop of anything on the car and before you know it, the scoop spits out water that it was just retaining to leave the marks on your hood.

I took my scoop off and put better weatherstripping on the bottom of the scoop. It doesn't hold nearly the amount of water it used too. When I am done washing I just stuff a towel in the front of the scoop and let it soak up what little remains.
