is that supposed to be for the IC or the intake? and no i don't dig it... looks hideous.
 
maybe if it had one on the other side too? anyone good with photo shop ? I'd rather just have a hood scoop but not to big as to draw attention from the po po.
 
I actually kinda dig it. I'd rathe have an intergrated hoodschoop ala legacy GT but I could see this being kinda cool. Gotta lose the one on the roof though.
 
it can't be in the middle, won't work with the INTERCOOLER.... possibly going to do two scoops and try to make it functional...

imo

the roofscoop needs to go in the dumpster;

the hoodscoop just doesn't blend in at all since there is a gap where the intake starts at the edge of the hood.
 
undertrey

Here was the undertrey

^ OK so it is not for the intake it is for the intercooler. That makes sense now.
 
IMO, the offset indicates true functionality. Often, centered scoops (i.e. Mustang GT) are non-functional.

If it were me doing the designing, I'd soften some of the edges. All the sharp angles are too harsh. It's not the best, but I've seen worse. I'd also like it a lot better on a red hood.
