RE: Hood scoop honeycomb
yea that thing is really annoying. especially when you wash your car. Water always seems to be in that thing and runs out. Its the worse when you go out somewhere and stop and you have water running out of that stupid scoop.

RE: Hood scoop honeycomb
It can come off but it does hold the front of the scoop in place. Plus the only thing they make for them to fill the hole once your done is a billett grill type thing[:'(]. I think that that looks like ****

RE: Hood scoop honeycomb
Hey highho silverjust guessing but you could make it Functional with some fabracations.
just cut a hole under your hood where the scoop is i guess. I have not done it but i looked at mine yesterday to see how hard it would be to put a new grill in the scoop because i hate the hooney comb grill as well and it did not seem too hard.i just took off the isoalation under the hood and took a look. it looked like 4 bolt hold the scoop and maybe a nother2 hold that grill in.but what ever you want to do to make it functional be my guest.
Good luck

RE: Hood scoop honeycomb
Mine is somewhat functional. I had cut a hole in my hood where the old scoop thingy was (I have a 2000 did not come with the scoop). Drilled a hole inall the little holes in the honeycomb. Then cut a hole in the blanket. It blows cool air over my throttle body and plenum. Works well too. I can drive the hour to the track, get out, pop the hood, and put my hand on the plenum and not burn myself.
