I have a '69 hood with the L88 scoop at the shop. Steel hood with a glass scoop grafted on. It's off of a friends car when he went back to the stock SS hood. I don't have any pics with it on the car, But it did look "different"
as stated by Dan396ss68, they do shake and vibrate a lot, this hood has lots of stress cracks where the scoop is grafted on. If a guy could find a steel version that would be the way to go, but all I've seen are the glass add-on scoops.
