Hood Scoop Deal! (need Your Opinions On The Look) - NikiterZTS - 04-17-2007
Hi everyone
i'm gettin a deal on this stock hood with custome made hood scoop in it. The first reason i wanna do this straight trade is because i have Volant and im getting ported 2000 intake manifold. Having this hood scoop for Volant, would this equal to me having Cold air intake or better?
But then again, do you think its gonna look stupid? PLEASE keep in mind my car is gettin dropped first by the end of this month aprox. 1.6".
Lol so just imagine my car dropped, with those ST200's and that lil stealthy hood scoop(hood is gonna be painted to the color of the car).
Here's a pic of the guy's car with that hood on:

If the scoop is functional, go for it. I think it looks great, especially on my car.
Hood Scoop Deal! (need Your Opinions On The Look) - NikiterZTS - 04-17-2007

how safe are these hood scoops? what if its raining like a mother$^$?
Hood Scoop Deal! (need Your Opinions On The Look) - zx5power - 04-17-2007
I thought of that and you might want a bypass for the intake , ive seen a guy with a neon with like 6 holes for air in his hood and he dont seem to have trouble with it he used to work with me and he even drove it like that in the winter , what you could do tho is design a plexy glass cover for when the rain is really bad you can just clip it on to cover the hole.
Hood Scoop Deal! (need Your Opinions On The Look) - NikiterZTS - 04-17-2007
im not sure what kind of a bypass i'd be able to put one here....i mean this thing is right over volant.......even though i remember seing how on the other side of the hood it looks weird and the owner told me that he never had a problem .....but u know me....i wanna be sure
Hood Scoop Deal! (need Your Opinions On The Look) - zx5power - 04-17-2007
if you start having any sputtering problems, just make a plexi cover that you can clip under the hole to stop water from getting in when it really rains.
Hood Scoop Deal! (need Your Opinions On The Look) - habmann - 04-17-2007
You might be able to put a bypass some where after the filter, but i'm not sure if that would help. I think the bypasses are normally to prevent the engine taking in water if the whole filter became submerged in water.

Eh... I don't care for it one way or the other, but then again it is your car not mine... so yeah.....

lol alright....i already called him today earlier asked him how much he would charge to paint the hood....
does $200 cash sounds fare?

yeah actually that dose... I paid that for the fenders to be painted that colour & the front bumper, too bad the body shop I used in Toronto used Escape Yellow and not Focus yellow... :rolleyes:

Ya that sounds like a pretty good deal. I paid 100 to get my tail lights painted, and that was during the middle of the winter when body shops tend to be a lil cheaper.
