    I'd be down if it has a heat extractor. something like the evoIX hood.

    But again, it would be hard to get 20 people to buy into the same design.

    Are you serious about Seibon!? They make some pretty high quality C/F hoods and stuff...

    How about one with

    a cool mural on it? Maybe a naked chick or some other 70s van retro art.

    wow...seibon! im impressed....(thats what i was looking at for my TEG...but i ended up getting a VIS one because of the price difference, but its still a quality company)

    i dont think i would be willing to spend that much on a visual mod....personally...

    Put me down for one, Im not against a scoop either . . . but it would have to be low like the old STi ones . . . didnt CF1 make those a few years back? In fact dont some people have them on their VX's?

    I think this thread been relegated to the 'oh well, it was a good idea at the time' folder.

    But yes, I'd love an insert with the low scoop too. Anyone know where I can get one?

    Count me In

    I dont know where you can get a replacement bonnet(hood) insert with a low scoop but it is something I'd also be interested in. If you find one Nick contact me - we could double up on the order (particularly if it from the states) and perhaps that way it could be cheaper.

    There seems to be lots of new interest...!!

    We didnt have enough people to make this viable back in April/may 09...

    ...but maybe we do now.

    I'm a little busy for the next month or so..but will try and get some new options and quotes as soon as I can.


    Question is...scooped or not scooped...?

    And if scooped...we all need to agree on a design.

    I'm in. Was planning on spending some of my tax money on a new insert and this is better.

    "Dry" carbon is the matte finish.

    If we can get 20 people , they can do 10 "Matte"...and 10 UV clear coated.

    The UV clear coated will of course increase life expectancy.
