I have scoured Mustang forums and I can't find anyone who has posted a project to make the 2011-2014 Roush fake hood scoop into a functional item, so I will post my project here. If anyone has seen a similar project, please point me to it!
I purchased my 2014 Roush RS as an official numbered Roush vehicle and I was always bothered by the fact that the hood scoop is just a plastic sculpture bolted to the hood. I know that there isn't any legitimate performance "need" for downdraft (I am only planning on a downdraft mod) on a non-tracked 3.7 liter Mustang. I also know that the modification could even create extra drag and disrupt optimum airflow over the front end of the car... but to heck with it! I'm doing it anyway.
Not only am I going to tackle this project knowing that I might have to buy a new hood and hood scoop if I mess it up... I am also going to post the parts list and the process for anyone else who wants to risk hundreds of dollars in damage to their own vehicle! :thumb:
Wish me the luck.
