I found these "universal" hood scoop's while surfing the web, and I figured I would share seeing some people have been thinking about making changes to their stock hoods.

You would need a body shop to put them on, unless you are good with fiberglass and bondo yourself.

According to the website the cost is $155.00 each (free shipping).

I think this cobra R svo scoop might look good on a Marauder.

Some of you might like this Mach 1 style.

And others might like this Ram Air style.

Now all you need to do is find a Crown Vic hood in a salvage yard, buy the scoop of your choice for $155.00 and you have a weekend project :)

They also make fiberglass horses:

it had better be done right. just slapping the thing down and painting it black aint going to look so nice.

I prefer the mod Big Joe P did with the Tran Am side vents [just like a Shark's gills] just behind each front tire on the quarter panel. But he spent dozens of franklins to make it look so cool.

I'm not adding anything to the hood unless its functional. Fake scoops are little too "rice" for me. :nono: :down:

They could be made functional.
You would need to cut the vent opening in the scoop and an opening in the hood underneath the scoop.
Then you would need to create some type of ductwork over to the airbox.
If you take a look at the "ram air" hoods on cervinis website you will see this is how they do it. Of course theirs are all molded up in the hood itself for a nice clean look.

I sent two emails to them to ask how much it would be do to a one off. Never got an answer. :(

I have yet to see a hood scoop that looks good on the Marauder. They all look out of place.

The Hood Scoop Was Installed Beautifully and the Gator Glass on the Scoop is Very Impressive but, Not Feeling a scoop on my Marauder. Maybe the little cowl raise that the Buick Grand Nationals Had would be a nice Look.

I emailed Cervini's about a year ago.
I was looking to do a Stalker kit for a Marauder.
They wrote me back and said they had ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST
in doing anything for our vehicles at all.

Its a crying shame... :cry:
The Stalker hood would look right on a Marauder.

Not sure a traditional "scoop" looks right on the Marauder. A cowl induction hood like the early Z28s might be a better fit. I think it would fit the line of the car more.
