in an attempt to help keep my powertrain cool, i installed a TMD functional hood scoop. I don't have any pics from the install itself, but it's extremely straight forward. I bought the scoop from TenaciousTJ back in April
Here are some pics:

my next step is to use some louvers as a means of evacuating the hot air, I'll probably put them on the lower section of the hood (to the side of the scoop), about even with the back of the scoop. The scoop comes with 2 more pieces you can use to direct the air to the top of the stock airbox horn, but as you see i don't have the stock airbox so i'm not using those pieces. It has a little hump at the mouth of it to help keep debris and maybe water out. I still need to seal around the edges, what type of silicon is safe for automotive paint? I remember somebody saying the typical household stuff eats auto paint.
My LJ originally came with that huge mat pinned to the hood, I'm not sure what it was for (probably sound deadening), but I think i'm going to spray on some lizard skin to replace it.
