Has anyone installed or even just seen the Ford Accessories Hood Scoop? PN VJL3Z-16C630-A

Curious what it looks like in person, how it mounts, what kind of clearance is there with the OE hood vents, etc.

The link says that it doesn't work on a Raptor. Could be a mistake, but do you have a source that say it will fit?

On that link, under Vehicle Fitment it lists the 2019/2020 Raptor as fitting? Maybe I am reading it wrong.

I would be rather skeptical of that. I don't think there is any change on the hood between 17'-18' and 19'-20'. But it could be a mistake in either direction, so who knows. Tasca parts says the same thing.

Tend to agree especially considering the hood scoops on the Raptors vs the scoop that doesn't look to be too high up off the hood.

"Faux honeycomb grilles add to the look. Rugged polyurethane construction. Easy, no drill installation."

Stick-on plastic bling that performs no function.

The hood vent are removable, so if it does work, I imagine that would be required. Pictures can be deceiving, but this looks larger than the vent. Do you know how this attaches to the hood? Some sort of adhesive, or are you required to drill into the hood?

considering our "functional" hood scoops are already pretty much useless plastic additions, do what ever one you like the best.

Of the 4 vents on our "functional" hood scoops now, only 2 are not sealed off, and underneath, it "vents" to 2...yes 2, 1 inch holes to the engine bay. Pretty weak if you ask me.

Yeah it’s nothing spectacular ventilation wise, but I will keep the look of the louvers over that particular hood scoop.

One problem on most of these truly functional factory implementations regarding air intake, is water intake as well. Open these scoops and louvers up and a lot of rain, car wash water will flood the engine bay. So for a true factory stock DD vehicle, the factory has there hands tied before they finish the job of making it perform as one would envision.

Have built cars with open cowl hoods and big snorkel scoops. They do the job well, but I’m not driving these vehicles in a down pour either.

Just my 2 cents.

Im out on the hood scoop, looks very 70's bolt on plastic.
