hood scoop

Not with a scoop, as that will not improve under bonnet temps. But, according to TWR and their experience with the ETCC winning XJS, under bonnet heat was a huge problem. Bodywork mods were not allowed, so louvres were not an option; but were the real solution. So TWR went to vast lengths to deal with the heat: huge oil cooling and scavenging mods; bonnet that "by mistake" came open at the back when racing; sump deepened and finned; water and oil top up on the move system partly operated by the driver; huge oil cooler; etc etc.

It is a fake scoop front is closed off no air or rain can get inside.
The color matches the convertible top but like I said it is not attached to the hood just sit it on to take pics.
If i were to stick it on with 3m double sided tape I would paint it flat black and also paint the rear spoiler flat black that I have not painted or installed yet.
I put the scoop on my new 07 chevy silverado 9 years ago took it off 2 years ago and you could not tell it had ever been on the truck hood.
