    Hood insert with air scoop

    Anyone interested in hood inserts with wrx style scoop. Start a project soon and need to guage how much time to spend on the mold. The more runs that are expected the more time I have to spend on the mold for the carbon part. Just give a shout on this post if you may be interested. Not look to make a ton of money, just enough to pay for my R&D. Dont have a price yet though.

    Alright guys. Ill start working on it. I will be doing the work not farming it out. It may take a little time but it will happen because I need to replace the carbon fiber scoop hood on the VX I just bought.

    Got pics of your insert that you could post? Would be interesting to see what you're planning on recreating, I think various members have tried at least 3-4 different styles in the past.

    I believe my mind has a strong interest. My pockets don't agree but I never listen to them! Seen the application previously and i do like 'em. Like MrLarrys, I don't necessarily need a carbon fiber unit. I do have a C/fiber prototype one-off insert now w/out scoop that I've never mounted. The stock type would be fine for me too with the scoop. The 'cowl induction' approach intrigues me even more! Keep me posted as this really sounds great. I can go either way. scott
    Also, I've seen some non-functioning 'cowl induction' hoods that have gauges mounted in the scoop opening and angled toward the driver. Cool, I think!
