nah. Not for me. Too small. It just looks kind of cheesy, IMO.

Yeah! Too small and for the price you would thought that you were getting a whole hood assembly, price is way too high and the scoop is too small

.
Quite a few years ago an episode of Rides had Christopher Titus tricking-out his wife's Expedition with a hemi' shaker similar to this modern-day after-market offering .....



BTW ... Agree with John.F150 ... Too small. Appears to be a modern-day Mustang version.


Even the 1970's Mustang and Torino ( though larger than the Mustang ) are too small.

I agree, looks totally wrong!

Joe,
You are correct; that's the Danko Shaker for the Hemi and is the one I had.




Part of the appeal is the "old school" look, and the CDC shaker for F150 doesn't even come close!!

Im guessing this is probably covered with the kit and my worry would be completly unfounded....but....the one thing that would worry me is that water would be able to get down and sit on the top of the engine. I know the bottom side of the engine bay is open and water can get up there in a rain storm anyways....but....im thinking rain pooling on top of the motor with all the electronics....it cant be good....

OEM and kits have catch troughs at the base of the scoop and a tube that drains any water.
