Hood scoops are better..... ;)
Sunday, September 21, 2008 8:21 AM
Put the stock hood scoop into my Seibon hood and it looks 1000x better I believe, should have done this to begin with

I was pulling out of my friends driveway the other day and ran over a board with nails which popped my rear left tire Luckily the rays are in perfect shape still I was going really slow. I am going to throw wider 255's on them and get my fenders rolled for clearance. So i had to put the heavy @ss 19's back on just for the next week, don't worry they're not staying

This week I plan on getting the headlight housing's opened and redone in black, I really feel that will smooth out the front end and finally get rid of that damn orange!! haha

interesting, i dig it. Question though, how are the scoops held on the stock hood and how that vent was held onto that c/f hood?

The STi hood scoop is removable from the factory, it's not molded into the hood so to speak. The Seibon hood utilizes all of the OEM mounting holes so it's as easy as swapping one for another.

Not bad, but the parts of that hood I hate are molded in

Way better! I feel blacking out the mesh would finish it, maybe body color even.

Also when you do the headlights, you doing the rings blue? I like that idea. Think they call them rally rings or some nonsense! I try to stay hip!

Black/body mesh, black headlights with blue rings, and the Rays back on with those 255's would be pure sex.

I'd love to see a blue candy over the carbon fiber.

The long term goal for the hood is to paint it blue once the sun starts to discolor it, then paint the mesh black.

Thanks for the incite and kind words. I took the critisism before kindly and was looking at my car and had come to agree with you all that the standard scoop on this carbon hood definitely didn't look as good as the OEM scoop, I do however still really like the vents, and feel when the hood is blue that it will all go together alot better.

Thanks again JBO.

i don't liek it at all, it looked so much nicer with the stock hood, personally I would have gone with OEM CF



Re: Hood scoops are better..... ;)

I am sorry but that looks ugly IMO. looks to FATF. If anything paint the vents black. I personaly like the stock hood much better.

UPDATE :

Car is going to the bodyshop tmrw.

Hood is getting painted blue, the vents are being painted black.

Im also getting my Rays wheels sent off to get powdercoated so the wheels will be black when they go back on this week

Then all I have to do is open the headlights and paint the housings black.

I'll post new pics soon......

Yay on the hood being blue/black, BOOOOO on painting the wheels. I liked them gold.
