    Any guidance on where to get the Carbon Fiber Aftermarket Hood Insert WITH the scoop?

    I love the way the hood scoops look on the hood inserts. The carbon fiber inserts with the built in scoops look about the best that I've seen. Any ideas where they are being sold? If no longer available, any trusted sites where compatible scoops are still sold? Thanks again!

    i looked into making one with a scoop like the subaru wrx's have ($50 - $250) and some vinyl wrap ($100?) - doesnt seem that difficult... but i never did so what do i know

    it seemed to me that the stick on scoops are cheaper than the ones you have to sand and paint but they look really junky - i was thinking a stick on with the vinyl wrap would make it look more professional - like it was molded as one piece

    What I meant was...

    There are not many places around that will do the Carbon Fiber "correctly". I put correctly in quotes because there is a "cheap" way to do it and "the way" to do it. Using Water Printing Technology is "the way" to go. In addition to the carbon fiber, the part is then Clear Coated (4 coats) and buffed to a showroom shine. There aren't many around who do it and I live in Louisville, KY which is home of KY HydroGraphics. They have an AWESOME facility and have Water Printed Carbon Fiber for me on my:

    - Hood Insert
    - Front Grill
    - Side Mirrors
    - Rear Side Marker Housings
    - Rear Moon Piece
    - Antenna Base
    - Door Handles
    - Tweet Covers
    - Door Handle Cover w/switches


    Yes, they can also do your hood scoop in carbon fiber. I was just saying that I don't know where to PURCHASE a hood scoop, but once you do I know where to have it done with CF if you are interested.

    This is exactly what my local facility looks like. I stopped in one day to watch some of my pieces being done, AMAZING!!

    i knew what you meant i was just being a smartass - sorry i have a tendency to do that

    and that water printing is cool ive seen it before but not in person

    also i didnt realize it was carbon fiber they were using - some people say carbon fiber but what they are talking about is a plastic made to look like carbon fiber... aka our door panels - either way its only a matter of time before someone gets in the vat naked
