What to Look Out for When Buying Ford Bronco Hoods and Hoods Accessories?
Build Materials and Durability
When shopping for a new Ford Bronco hood, the choice of material plays a crucial role in weight, durability, and aesthetics.
Carbon fiber hoods offer a lightweight option with exceptional strength, enhancing performance and fuel efficiency while providing a sleek appearance. Fiberglass hoods, on the other hand, strike a balance between durability and affordability, allowing for customization with various styles and vents.
Lastly, aluminum hoods offer a lightweight alternative to steel, maintaining durability and resistance to rust. It’s important to go for a hood/hood accessory that is able to withstand all the abuse the front end of a car typically endures during its lifespan.
As such, if you do decide to go for expensive and delicate materials, it’s best to protect them.
Design and Performance
On one hand, you can go for a Ford Bronco hood that is minimalistic and fairly inconspicuous, on the other, you can go all out and opt for a carbon fiber, aggressive hood with large scoops and vents.
For the sake of performance, it’s always better to go for hoods that provide actual, usable vents and scoops which can extract heat from the engine bay while also helping with cooling.
This can make your Bronco perform better, especially if you live in an area that is often plagued with high temperatures or if you push your Bronco to the limits at the trail often.
What Are the Best Ford Bronco Hood Accessories?
Scoops, Vents, Louvres
Ford Bronco hood vents, scoops, and louvres improve airflow and heat dissipation from the engine bay, enhancing performance and preventing overheating by keeping the engine bay temperature at much safer levels.
Hood Pins
Hood pins provide added security and peace of mind, particularly for off-road enthusiasts or those looking to customize their Bronco with aftermarket hoods. These will keep your Ford Bronco hood in place while also making your Bronco that little bit more like a racecar.
Hood Struts
Hood strut upgrades don’t seem like something most people would usually do, but you’d be surprised as to how convenient this upgrade can be if you are often working on your Bronco with the hood up. These can hold the hood in various places and free up access to the engine bay.
Hood Protectors/Shields
Heat protectors and shields are essential for those who want to protect the hood from anything ranging from stone chips to more severe impacts. These will also help with keeping dents, scuffs, and scratches off your Ford Bronco hood.

Scoop or Vents?
Do you want a scoop or vents? Scoops are designed to draw air into the engine bay, while louvers and vents are designed to release hot air from the engine bay. Vents are probably the better option for hot climates or if you frequently take your Bronco on long drives. If the opposite applies to you, then scoops are probably a more suitable option. Having both installed isn't bad, but it may not be the ideal.
Material and Color
Aluminum, carbon fiber, and plastic are the most common materials for making these scoops and vents. Plastic is cheaper, but it's not as durable as metal. Metal is more expensive, but it's more durable and will last longer while surviving wear and tear. Concerning color, you're more than likely to come across white and black scoops and vents, with the black color being the most popular.
Size & Installation
What size do you want your scoop or vents to be? The most common sizes are small, medium, and large. Small scoops or vents are less expensive, but they're not as effective at drawing air into the engine bay. Medium scoops or vents are more expensive, and they're more effective at drawing air into the engine bay. Large scoops or vents are expensive and are the most effective at drawing air into the engine bay.
Also, consider how you want to install your scoop or vents. The most common methods are drilling, screwing, and adhesive. Drilling is the most permanent option, screwing is the easiest option, and using an adhesive is the middle ground between drilling and screwing. You may also need to cut out some parts of your vehicle's hood to install these vents and scoops.
Wrapping Up
Scoops, louvers, and vents are all designed to improve the airflow and cooling of your engine bay. Choose any of our high-quality hood scoops and give that engine some fresh air when next you’re driving.
