Mega Users seabass07 Posted October 17, 2011 Mega Users Share Posted October 17, 2011 You'd need a mullet to pull that scoop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortal2None Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Extending it and giving a wider "mouth" further down the hood. Very nice Dr. Frankenstein. You should do a before/after IAT comparison on similar climate days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 ^uh? its fmic the scoop is now only there to blow some cool air onto the turbo and other hotstuff. and i did this mod because i had intake manifold, rad cap and fuel rail exposed. and i dont want a giant wrx scoop. this should end up being some what subtle and stock ish appearance BUT i do think it does flow air better this way tho but i have no data to back it up Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 $0.02.... I think it would look better if it extended rearward to cover the entire factory scoop. It's starting to look like a scoop on a scoop... I think it's going to be tough to make that look like a single scoop. Props to you for tackling the job though. I'd kinda like to put a bigger scoop on my car and use it for an air intake (MAF-less) but I'm totally afraid if how my handiwork would turn out.

BAC5.2 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I think I would have done a scoop delete, and just had a bump in the hood (like a 370Z) [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/proper-flip-key-interesti-159894.html"]Flip Key Development Thread[/URL] "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." - E.

But I think it's an illusion from the different colors. It looks like it's tiered. I'm curious about the side profile of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRSCobra Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Are you using a special kind of bondo or something? Every bondo'ed hood I've ever seen ends up cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Are you using a special kind of bondo or something? Every bondo'ed hood I've ever seen ends up cracking. its not special. and i'm not saying it won't i'm learning. but people told me that as long as the surface is roughed up with 30 grit it sticks pretty good. but i'm not so sure about the aluminum hood to this type of bondo.
