Hood Scoop

A hood scoop is an exterior component often found on performance and sports cars. It is an upraised component located on the hood of a vehicle that allows a direct flow of external air to the engine, thereby enhancing its efficiency and performance. The purpose of a hood scoop is to ensure the engine gets cooler, denser air to increase horsepower and improve fuel economy. Apart from functionality, hood scoops also add an aggressive, sporty aesthetic to the vehicle, lending a sense of speed and power. They are typically made from materials such as plastic, fiberglass, or carbon fiber. Some hood scoops are purely decorative, while others are integrated into the vehicle's air intake system. But, in all cases, they exude a statement of style and performance.
