I'll buy #1 in carbon fiber... tell me where to send my money.

 

 

It'll compliment my CF grille nicely and will still be somewhat understated.

 

 

Thanks to all these vendors (thinking seriously about) making this great stuff!

I'd say #2, i like the bigger appearance i get with my ARC scoop extension. Plus if you completely redesigned it you could probably make the actual opening larger, therefore allowing more air into the TMIC

 

just my .02 :)

 

I like number 2 also. It is a balancing act between how good it looks and how much air can get it. I'd like you to go as big as you can go while still having the lgt stealth factor.

 

+1 for pics on a car :)

 

and how about #2 but all carbon fiber (insert and extension)

If the #2 piece (arc extender) is painted to match the car color then it will no way look like a tacked-on piece. I think that # 2 would be perfect if it was made just a little bigger then the ARC model. A fiberglass model for those of us who plan on painting it would be great!

The problem with the ARC is that its just slightly too subtle and the full-scoop replacements such as K2's is too big and ricey.

+1 to all of that.

 

dazzen, I think #2 is the extender merged with the scoop, so it definitely wouldn't look tacked on! Perhaps you knew this already but by your post it sounds like you think #2 is the extension alone, which I think is option #3.

Oh, I see...

ya I thought # 2 was just the extender.

But, with that small price difference then I would definitely vote for the merged scoop.

Subaru has been using the same hood scoop dimensions for all these old-ass non turbo Legacy's for ever.....Our real turbo car needs a more suitable yet non obnoxious larger opening.
