During the winters is there any issue with snow coming in through the scoop.

Nah, not unless you drove into a snow bank!

matches a bit closer to fenders but its still different. to me its about 3 to 4 shades off.



direct sunlight at 1430. its really off.

i thought i should take a picture of this because it seems important when it comes to matching colors.

First off excellent post. Secondly, I think for a few that is a good option. I really like that flat black look and since the fender trim is a bit of a distance away from the scoop, for folks wanting that look it is a great option.

Glad you are happy with the choice to go glossy! But great to show others the options.

Thanks again!

So there was no mention of the scoop's utility. Does it work? Cooler temps, or hp gains over simply taking the air dam out of the stock scoop?
