So here's the deal - I've got some blemishes on my hood (few rock chips, couple small dings from acorns or something) and a pretty significant rust spot on the trailing edge of the hood. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want a CF insert w/ hood scoop, but it seems silly to have someone remove the insert to respray the hood, only to put it back where I have to remove it again once a CF insert is available.

So I guess I'm really asking a couple of questions here:

  1. Is anyone willing to sell their CF insert with hood scoop (preferrably the WRX style)?
  2. How difficult is the insert to remove, and how difficult would it be to install a new one?
  3. Is anybody close to actually producing CF or CF wrapped inserts with scoops?


Just thought I'd throw this out there for discussion - seems like there are constantly people interested in this mod, and although VX'ers have a reputation for showing interest but not following up with dollars, I have to think somebody could make money by producing these inserts.

Ron, BOARZHEAD, anyone?
