Closer look at Satin Black Hood Scoop installed on Maverick

[stoptothink]

Humm, non functional and adds drag, not in the cards on my hybrid but it's your truck, I'd rather do functional upgrades.

+1. No different than all of those adding larger aggressive tires or lifts, who have no intention of off-roading (not that a Maverick is really capable of serious off-roading regardless of how much it is lifted or how big the tires are). I prefer to not pay to make my vehicle less efficient in the name of a look, but we may be outnumbered on this one.

I do not disagree, I don‘t see much of this for myself. But for those that do I really enjoy seeing it on these pickups. The cool thing is there are accessories if you want them.

I want to see Buchar drill a hole in his hood slap one of these on there and let us know if the added cool air helps on the dyno. If so I am willing to drill a hole in my hood and buy one!

I did not see a view from the drivers seat with the hood scoop installed.
Installed after watching Air Design u tube.
This was installed to reduce glare from the hood due to my retina surgery,
I like the hood scoop and the reduction of glare, it did the trick.

I see you have a XLT. Why are your outside mirrors color keyed to your truck? That is standard on a Lariat but not a XLT. Did you do that and how? Thanks.

You get the color keyed mirrors with the Lux package on the XLT.

So, it is functional (as an anti-glare device).

Part of the XLT Lux package.

I like it, but dont see myself buying one.

Same here...no functionality but to each his own. At least it's not overdone.

Looks good!

Question, does this effect hood flutter like the bug guard? I really like the look and will be putting one on my hybrid.. Does it have any problem sticking to the hood? I will be having mine installed at dealer for the 3 year warranty so not to worried about it but others might. Any added noise or anything else you can think of that might be a concern to be aware of? Thanks.

I think the cyber orange one that was painted to match looks much better than this one in black. Just my opinion.

The Maverick had no hood flutter before or after the scoop installation. I didn't notice any extra noise with the scoop installed. The scoop is fixed to the hood with double sided tape and a bead of 3M 530 adhesive on all 4 sides. Cleaned the hood with alcohol and acetone before install.
