i really want one at some point in time... but dont think i can afford one right now just curious... how much will it cost?
right around $500 shipped. check into what you can do, what brand because these are the VIS. i just want the oem style so i can put the blue scoop back on
Has anyone here installed a cf hood on their ride? I'd like to find one that fits like the stock hood.
i have seen only the seibon hoog and that one was great. amazingly, VIS cf has gotten very good. ironically i probably won't go with either since i get jobber price on erebuni ( from nopi) and they usually have it in stock so there's no $100+ to pay in shipping
Do you guys think the reverse cowl hood would affect performance? Kaminari points out that drag will be reduced by eliminating the hood scoop. What about airflow into the intercooler? ...is it reduced? ....does it matter?
the factory hood scoop slows you down anyways, and is non-working over speeds of 70+ the air goes right over the scoop. Any after market hood would be better, and lighter.
I really wanna throw a WRX in a wind tunnel and see how efficient the scoop even is. I dont think that a reverse scoop would affect the aerodynamics that much. Its something that sounds good on paper when they try to sell the scoop. Yes it will lower it, but not to a degree where any of us will notice. If we all cared about aerodynamics none of us would drive with the windows down, our cars would all be lowered to the ground, and the car would be more streamlined looking (think Corvette or Prius which each have some of the lowest drag coefficients of modern vehicles). I saw pics of a WRX once that had a FMIC and in place of a scoop they just put in some black painted chicken mesh. It was a nice opening in the hood for heat to get out, but again I dont know how functional that even is, but it looked nice.
