Hood Insert Project

[Vehi-Cross-Az]

Im going forward with my new hood insert project
Im going to put a WRX hoodscoop on one and make
a mold off it and start making whole new Insert with
the scoop molded in as one pcs.
Only making it out of fiberglass.
If anyone has a damaged insert Id be willing to buy
it and pay shipping if the cost is right.
If not, Ill just pull mine off and use it as the mock up
piece.
If you have one, email me directly and lets talk about
it.

Est time to have ready, 2-3 months.
Not sure exactly of cost yet.

thanks

Im up for suggestions before we do it.

I like this scoop actually more
and think is a better option

Cowl induction, please! Not ram air....
Best,

as anyone looked at the scoop that the 4runner had for a few years back in like 99-00? I think that one would look good on the VX. Either that or a heat extractor/cowl induction scoop.
edit, found a couple pics... but now that i get to thinking about it, u prolly jus wanna do it all easy like with no chopping of another hood huh? i jus think the 4runner scoop would look cool.
my .02 cents

gotta agree with the cowl induction, but I do like the look of that 2nd option. And I'll be a probable customer seeing as though mine is faded and looks like crap. Just gotta price it right for me

[Vehi-Cross-Az]

thats easy enough, I can just flip that scoop
backwards and take some pics tomorrow..
I like forward facing myself, but Ill go where there
is more interest. It only makes sense.
Extracting hot air can only help for those willing to
cut a hole in their hoods.

The issue with reversing the scoop is you'll be placing heat right at the leading edge of the windshield, right where intakes for "fresh" air to the AC/Fan are (provided you cut the hood and it's functional) - you'll notice that most extractor set-ups place the openings on the sides of the hood to help prevent the air from circulating back into the cabin. I already smell the foul air produced by the breather filters (instead of going back into the TB, I've got a breather filter on the passenger valve cover) and it can get pretty bad and that's just the smell without the heat! - just something to think about.

YEs that scoop looks very good though.

Can you tell where can i purchase one ?

[Vehi-Cross-Az]

for the new part was to replace the stock panels
that look crummy over age, and make paintable..
and the scoop was just for looks anyway.
I dont see any way to really put a scoop forward enough
to make any difference facing forward or even reversed.
Why not make the Vx look better if it can and doesnt cost
alot of $.
At the very least if you opened it up underneath you could
get some cool and hot air out of the opening either while
driving or after its parked.
Leaning towards this scoop or the Sti style still.
