Default F150 Shaker Scoop ?!

What do you all think? Would this look solid on a white truck?

Did you other guys even read the description? It is based on the ram air idea. The shaker bolts to the intake, and physically shakes when you rev the engine. Hence the name "shaker hood" The price is a bit high, after you include the labor portion for cutting up your stock hood. If done correctly though you could probably do this without any needed paint touch up. From the pics it looks as though they give a trim piece for the hood. This is a way cool mod, but not sure the 8 bills won't be better spent on a tuner or other upgrades.

I am sure it would look good, but I agree, wouldn’t you get better performance out of a CAI + Programmer/ Tuner

I'm in full agreement. Plus, you'd still have some "clams" left in the wallet for a tuner!

I would go with that over a CAI. I think that is awesome and have often wondered how to get the Mach1 look on an F150. But for $800 I would hope it comes with a new hood and does'nt require you to cut your own hood. I could be wrong but I didn't see a hood in the parts description.
