    So, I was thinking of getting the STi hoodscoop for the WRX, and at the Subaru website it says that it costs $150.
    Does anyone know how much it will be to get it painted and installed?

    Also, I think the bigger scoop will make the car look more aggresive, or at least different from other WRX's, do you guys have opinions on how it'd look on an otherwise stock WRX?

    Thanx. :wavey:

    A lot of the members here have them, so yr lou should be able to find a few examples in our garage. You're right, it will make the car a bit more aggressive. Not sure on the painting costs.

    im not sure how much it costs to get painted but on average i have seen 150.00 the going rate just for the scoop. Now if you dont have the bugeye or you want the traditional 04-05 sti scoop i think yerrow has a cf one he is selling. Or Milo has the new body style on his bugeye.

    That's a great site, and they will paint it for you, thanks.

    I do not know if you're familiar with the site at all, but one aparently must post the color code or something in their "comments section before you check out" if you want it painted. I could find so no such section.
    Could you tell me where it is or something?

    good carbon fiber is pretty strong... more prone to cracking than denting
