Hood Scoop Deal! (need Your Opinions On The Look)
#37
haha
well on this site and ff.com i got pretty good responses
but as soon as i posted on the local board
these are the responses i got

)To be honest I have never been a fan of off center hood scoops........just my opinion.

2)If it was blended into the hood a bit better then it would look good. I don't like the raised edge all the way around it.

3)isn't that froma geo metro turbo??
i know sunfire guys used it
the only way that would look good is if u dropped ur car (yes i know u are) but the image in my head with a raised car and that hood scoop doesn't look good..
lower it first b4 anything else

4)no.
it won't net you any gains at all.
hood scoops aren't functional on a HP stand point for "ram air" effects like people think. it may, *may* lower the intake air temps a few degree's but that's not really going to translate into real HP gains for you. its a looks thing more than anything, and i don't think it looks good personally.

5)Ram air intakes only net measurable gains at very high speeds.
It may however allow you to get some water into your engine!

6)dont do it, no real advantage to having it

7) really liked this one lol:

What he said. No real advantages, only disadvantages as far as I am concerned. Plus the costs of having the hood painted to match your colour are way too much for something that is pretty useless. Spend your money on better mods. I would get rid of that "hot air ram intake" you have. Get cold air if there is one available or put the stock intake back on. Hot air intakes make you lose power.
