I have seen an older 2nd gen scoop moulded onto a 98+ hood. I think it was one from a 1978 or 79 Z. Didn't look too bad. Pretty much the same style as a newer SLP SS hood.

Personally I say if you want an SS style hood scoop... just save for an SS hood and at least it can be functional.

PS Nice car

sticking on a scoop isnt going to look right...go for the hood and do it once and do it right

Seems to me it might be better to hold out for an SS hood. Unless you can do the body work yourself, I doubt you'll be saving [I]that[/I ] much in the long run by adding a scoop and paying for a body shop to mold it onto your hood, plus repaint it.
