Hood Scoop

Post by B4snake »

Hey Guys...Just wondering, is is possible to add a hood-scoop to the front of the vibe...What would you guys recommend for making it functional?And good Style Scoops that work?Painted or Unpainted?

check on ebay too. sometimes you can get a decent deal on a vibe hood w/ scoop. whatever you do, PLEASE do not buy the stick on hood scoops. also, i belive freestyle had put a WRX hoodscoop on his VGT long time ago. it actually looked good, but unless you make it functional, seems a little silly imo. but hey, it's your car, so do what you will.

Yeah, I'd like to make it functional... because it's not worth it if it doesn't do anything...

he had one of the best and nicest looking vibe GT's. he did a lot of what i had wanted to do with mine: custom dual exhaust, hood scoop (functional too i believe). he did a very very nice job with his car.

I am using a VIS Carbon Fibre scoop from a Celica. It is functional however you do have to cut the hood, the way its mounted is for the purpose of one day goinf with a TMI. It sure makes your engine bay dirty though.
