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
