Just curious what one would pay for one?
I'm THINKING of getting a cowl and definitely wouldn't need the OEM. This is NOT A for sale thread. Just curious.
And does anyone currently have one on? Pros and cons please!
Thanks.

If you're going to get/apply a cowl scoop, why bother limiting yourself to Marauder only.
Any 1998+ Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis hood is a direct replacement.
As for me ... Paid $20 for a Marauder hood - had been in an accident and had several scratches and a small dent (where an opening was cut for the scoop).
Areas that were cut-out .....
What material is the scoop made from and how did you bond it to the hood? Is it holding up?
Excess in Moderation.
Sprinkles are for winners.
Fiberglass ...J-MAN - What material is the scoop made from ...
*Intended use was 1987 Mustang.
The body shop that did the work used 3M panel bonding, however, can't recall the particulars.... and how did you bond it to the hood?
Done in Aug'2006 and has held-up MUCH more betterer than I thought it would. Especially since I know the issues when bonding dissimiliar materials and it being BLACK.Is it holding up?
There is only one hair-line, 2" long crack (an exaggeration for what it really is) that shows-up every-now-and-then in cold weather. However, once it goes into the sun and/or warms-up it disappears. Noone else has ever noticed it.

Never weighed it after it was completed. Do know that it is slightly heavier, though I could still lift and carry it by myself and there hasn't been any issues with the hood struts being able to support it at any opening height.Blk04MM ... How heavy was your design?
Do know that SUBSTANTIAL weight could have been saved -IF- I had opted (like the body shop wanted) to remove the inner panel. However, did not want to compromise the integrity / rigidity of the hood. I believe that this is also the reason why there hasn't been the per usual stress cracks that appear on metal hoods with fiberglass scoops attached.

When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.

BOOST GETS YOU FELONY STOPPED!!!
Yup. Agree 100%. One year later after spending $850.00 getting mine stripped, straightened out, and repainted, and it has all shrunk up. Only true benefits are heat extraction for the Heaton (and it definitely does good with that) and weight savings, way more than I expected, this hood is super lite.
Soooo $450 for hood, $350ish for materials for me to paint, problems painting, $250 for new gun, still operator issues like never before, $250 material and $200 labor for ex body shop friend to repaint and end up with solvent pop, and finally $850 at a shop, scratched to holy hell a week later, shrunk after one year.
What's that $2350??? Yeah, I guess either I am a sucker, or don't know when to cash in the chips, perhaps both...
But wait, there is still more expense!
Struts!
The struts they tell you to buy. DON'T because they are still to strong and were bending the crap out of my hood! Look for my thread on here for ClassGlass relocation and replacement hood struts. Total win. I pulled my engine and didn't need to raise the hood any higher. In fact I never even came remotely close to needing too.
