    Thanks for the comments!

    Thanks everyone for the comments. Now to answer some questions.

    I like the dual air filter tube, what is the source of that Y pipe?
    That's the dual "HKS style" filter from R1. I then spent as much as I did on the filter, replacing the foam filter elements with real HKS foam filter media.

    So, no temp reduction?
    No, no noticeable temp reduction. And now the middle of the windshield gets warm to the touch (might be a good thing in colder climates).

    Nice where can I get one... non CarbonFiber
    The scoop was made by Buddy Club 2 (www.buddyclub2.com) and they offer a cheaper gel coated fiberglass scoop of the same dimensions, ready for paint.

    what are those fog lights? I like those...
    Those are PIAA P-3000 lights. They contain both a driving light and a long range spot, along with a marker light in each light. They ain't cheap though! PIAA makes really high quality stuff!

    I know in another thread there were questions about draining water with the hood scoop. When I cut the vent holes in the hood insert, I cut them about an inch bigger in diameter than the ones in the metal hood. The plastic hole inserts are siliconed into the metal hood and extend about 1/2" above the top of the hood insert. The water when it runs into the scoop, goes through the over sized holes in the hood insert and out the drain tubes at the front of the hood. I tested my engineering by dumping a whole bucket of water into the scoop and not a drop made it onto the engine!
