Rumble Bee hood scoop help

I need detailed pics and measurements for a mounted Rumble Bee hood scoop, like the tip of the scoop to the front of the grill for example. I took damage yesterday from a flying piece of pipe that pole vaulted on the hood leaving a hole in the hood. Hoping that the scoop can cover up the damage to minimize the body work.

Here's the 'hole'. 11.5" from the front (hood sheetmetal) and 6" to the left of the bulge.

I did get the hood scoop measurements from the same site. But need detailed information on the front of the scoop since it's scalloped.

My hood is 38.5" They say the scoop is approximately 38". I can't imagine that the scallop portion is anywhere close to 11". But the picture must be misleading as it shows the the scoop starting a few inches back of the front of the hood and with those dimensions it'd have to start just before the front end of the hood?

Wow Mikey, you must lead a good life. If that was me that pipe would have home thru the windshield and pinned me to the seat.

Be sure to upload some picturesOf the completed hood.

The way my luck has been lately the projectile should have gone through the windshield, after spearing the hood.

Scoop is on. Also the shop shaved the emblem off the air deflector for the smoothie look.

Sweet! Is it functional or a "bandaid" only?

It's non functional. Can be turned into a functional scoop with some work.

That looks good. Did you keep the piece of pipe? Could use it to ventilate the factory hood but be careful when poking the pipe through the hood from the underside. It would not be nice to puncture the new scoop or miss the area altogether.

Nay, the pipe pole vaulted over the truck after spear chucking the hood. It's laying somewhere between Houston and Austin.
