    Hood Scoop

    Does anyone know where I can get a carbon fiber hood scoop? I like the looks of the one JohnnyApollo has on his Vx.

    I think I can get this one still, but its real CF
    and not too cheap



    that one is a true bolt on.

    There are two other style scoops we can get too, but only in paintable
    and or CF looking material.
    Both are installed with 3m double sided tape but work well and look
    pretty cool.

    I think John has one of the CF inserts that were made a few years ago by "CF1"(long gone) . Two versions...with scoop, and without, and not many of either were made.

    What are the two other styles of scoops? Will the tape actually hold it on? And where do you get these?

    Thanks!

    Mine is actually molded into the CF hood insert and is indeed a CF1 design - I think only about a dozen were made, along with a couple of hoods before they bailed. I got this one from a previous owner who had removed it before selling his VX - I think I paid around $200 plus shipping for it. It's not holding up great - small stress cracks along the bottom edges of the scoop plus one corner, probably from being dropped. I'll probably end up painting it when it gets to far along (shame) but most of this exposed CF starts to yellow and crack as it ages (the resins aren't very hardy when exposed to UV).

    I've actually owned this for a while off the VX - wanted to have the SC installed to justify the look (even if it's non-functional).
