    vxstickers-
    whats with the white tubes going into it? breathers? water drainage?

    whats with the FBI?? is that to direct some of the fresh air straight to your intake??

    did you mount and do the glassing yourself??

    Hi pbkid,
    You are correct the tubes are for draining any water from up in the scoop. F.B.I. is just a name I gave the system. It stands for Free Breathe Intake. I bought the scoop (below) from racecomposites for $80.00. I did fiberglass, sand & prep it myself. I had maaco paint it for $100.00.

    ya i was looking at carbon creations last night...they have a carbon fiber one for $100, thinking of glassing that in and going some custom paint to leave the carbon showing on the scoop, with the hood black...

    thanks for tryin that out, ive been wondering how one of those would look on a VX, now that i see it i like it.

    They do look better molded on. At first I had it bolted on and fitted well but it still looked like it was just sitting there. If you decide to make it functional let me know and I'll tell you what I did and how. I've driven in the rain several times now with nothing more than a drop or two in the engine compartment. I'm also just about through my first full tank of gas and seem to have gotton a little better milage.
