Abstract
A hoodscoop assembly includes a plastic hoodscoop disposable on a vehicle hood, a noise-reducing tape disposable between the hoodscoop and the vehicle hood, and means for fastening the hoodscoop to the hood. Preferably the attachment of the hoodscoop to the hood occurs by bringing a recess on the periphery of the hoodscoop and the upper surface of the hood each into abutment with the tape, but leaving a small gap between the hood surface and the lower edge of the hoodscoop periphery. A method for assembling such a hoodscoop structure and a kit for the same are included.
