subject: Fiberglass Hood Scoop - For Style Upfront [print this page] Car styling has evolved consistently over the years. And so has car performance. And some of the most successful car aftermarket products have been those which enhance the looks and the performance. And though a fiberglass hood scoop is not by itself a performance enhancing product, it is part of a group of products that enhances the performance. And certainly fiberglass hood scoops placed strategically on the hood of your car give your car a cutting edge high performance look.
But beauty with purpose is much better than beauty without a purpose. Therefore let us first know about the purpose of a hood scoop and why is it placed in such a highly visible manner. A hood scoop is meant to scoop oncoming air and take it to your engine. This air captured directly from the outside is cooler than air captured from under the hood because under the hood the engine makes things hotter. This air is fed into the inlet of the cold air intake which takes it to the engine. The colder air contains more oxygen for a given volume because it is more dense. And more oxygen leads to better combustion. The better combustion in turn leads to more power from the engine and better fuel efficiency as well. The hood scoops are placed strategically where they can capture the maximum amount of air as the car moves forward.
As you can see the hood scoop starts a chain of events that makes your look more sporty, it improves its performance and makes the car more environmentally friendly as well. The fact that it is made of fiber glass means it is light and strong and will not add to the weight of your car. And when the air surges into the car's engine via the hood scoop you will get the deeper roar of a performance car.
