A hood scoop assembly for selective placement upon an external surface of an automobile vehicle, a boat and the like comprises a hood scoop body portion having a front end portion, a back end portion and an underside. Removably fittable in the underside of the back end portion is a panel unit. The panel unit may be either a filler panel having an insignia or a name place thereupon, or may be a signalling and indicating box unit that is situated facing the driver to thereby visually deliver to the driver pertinent information relating to the operating condition of the vehicle. The panel unit is held either to a flange situated along the back end portion or may be disposed within a channel defined on the underside of the hood scoop body and positioned approximately at the back end portion thereof. Alternatively, the panel unit may be removably attached directly to supports provided in the "open" end of the scoop. This embodiment may be modified to provide vertical adjustment of the panel unit. The panel unit may include a heater element to clear snow or ice from the panel face.
