Answer 1

Yes, its a hood scoop.

Answer 2

Yes the thing on the hood is called a hood scoop it allows air into the engine so it will stay cooler longer.

You know wat i meant not directly into the engine but under the hood where the engine is.

Answer 3

Depends on the car. It could be a hood emblem, a deer, a hood scoop, a wino (if it is late at night), bird dung, a hood vent, hood trim, animal entrails, paint, the underside of a tall trailer, a bikini model, a picnic blanket, some dudes having a beer, sunlight, moonlight or a treasure map.

Answer 4

It doesn't allow air into the engine just under the hood to keep it cooler

Answer 5

4X4 3.0 Turbo Just like mine. Hood Scoop to get Air Into the Inter-Cooler. Helps Mileage and Performance of the Engine!
