Default Remove hood scoop?

Has anyone removed their stock non functional hood scoop? If so I'd like to see a pic.
Thanks.

Just pop your hood and remove the nuts holding it on. That way we don't have to post a picture. Lazy ***

Am I correct in assuming if you take the plastic damn out of the front of the non-functioning hood scoop, that the scoop would go sailing off the hood at high speeds? Might the side scoops do the same?

Just a thought that I doubt is relevant.

You are correct, after about a couple of weeks it will come off at about 70 mph. I learned this the hard way. Motherf***er came off one night after leaving the bar.

Do you mean past the scoop on the very back of the hood?
