Hard to go wrong with a hemi scoop in my opinion.

3182 and 3183 look to be big scoops! What is the rear tire size? I know it seems like a random question, but IMO, there is a "SCOOP TO REAR TIRE" ratio to consider.  I am serious though. You want to balance that nicely. You can have a big tire, and small scoop, but if you have a big scoop, and a small rear tire, it ain't going to look right! Anyone else agree? haha. -Kenny

Kenny, I totally agree with ya! I thought I was crazy for thinking that way myself, but I have found another LOL
As for the OP, I think you can't go wrong with a hemi scoop on an a-body cuda, they just look right imo

Gee thanks.....Our heads up turd has a lot of scoop and not much tire. But it is what it took to fit it in there. Wish the old Hemi scoop could stay but it simply dont fit..Oh yeah we have a new even BIGGER scoop going on the car this year. Also new paint again..
Al at least your tires are inside the fenders
I'm taking a beating on this thread

We have a new big scoop for the heads up car too. One of the upgrades for next year, if it is still around that is....

OK so I ran wheels for a couple months that stuck out a little.... I wasn't trying to bash anyone... Thanks though.
FWIW Mine don't stick out.
Al, I like your Small Tire car. I'd say it still fits in the "Scoop to Rear Tire" ratio. A car I had in mind is a local Malibu that has an 8" cowl, and a 255/60R15 on the back.

Just for grins, here's a pic of a VFN. They have metal tabs on the inside to mount them with. Some guys don't like the lip around the opening, but I think it makes it look better.
