1LE scoop install. Scary but worth it.

Is there a lower water trap tray that catches water when driving in rain, so the rain water doesn't get all over the engine??

That looks slick! Been wondering about doing that....but was told it didnt work on the V6 hood due to the shape of the hood...?

Can we get a shot of the underside to see how that looks? Did you use the water deflector?

The v6 hood has a slimmer cowl than the v8, as evidenced by the respective lines on the bumper.

I couldnt figure out how to add the picture but the link is a comparison of the V6 hood and the V8 hood. The Cowl is wider on the V8

Here you go. If I remove the 6 nuts I have an open scoop very easily.

I'm waiting on the rain tray that attaches to the radiator to come in. The rain tray directs the water down the sides of the radiator toward the ground.

10-13 v6 and SS have the same hood. 14-15 v6 has the same hood as the 10-13. 14-15 SS has the wide hood.
