    Hi!
    With this hood scoop.... do all i have to do is remove the pad underneath to have the scoop cool the engine bay? Is there any value add?

    better make sure that the vents are opened on that scoop and not molded closed, and there is a cold air adapter shield that goes underneath that if you choose to go with a cold air intake system.

    I have the Mopar T/A Hood on my car, I had to purchase the front scoop grilles seperately and then cut the holes in the hood.
    Next was the plastic duct work which up here in Canada was over $600 even though available in US for almost half. Next was
    putting in an Airaid CAI and trimming the plastic housing down in order for the duct work to not hit it when the hood was closed.

    Great info guys! Thank you! So it looks like this is probably more involved than I had thought....

    Mine is not stock, but it is a Mopar after market hood.
    I let the body shop that painted it cut the holes.

    Check with Cervinis. They can help you get what you want.

    even thought I bought my car used, Cervini actually installed my shaker and go wing, my car was the first car they installed the go wing on so basically it was the test car for the wing. They are located in Vineland, New Jersey and that is where I bought my car.

    Not sure. I bought the car used a couple of weeks ago. It looks stock. It there any tricks to pullling the "push pins" that are holding the pad on? I tried to do it with a tool for removing trim but i wasnt having luck with it.
