The idea of sectioning the top of the whole hood scoop and raising it is similar to how the "restored" Landy car's hood was done, although there is a bit of the "lump" in that one, too. It turned out really nice -- although a good bit taller than the original -- and not like a band-aid job at all.

Nobody I could find repros the Drag Pak scoop, either. But it's also proportioned differently on the new Challenger.

I've gone back & forth on the VFN 5" T/A scoop that Rick R. and some others run for longer than I've been considering doing the Landy band-aid mod. On his solid 9-second car it looks cool. On mine... I think it would look like I don't have the car to back up the scoop.
