    WRX Scoop is in!

    Well, I finally got my WRX Hood Scoop. I had resigned myself to thinking I was going to have it painted once it arrived. This was based on prior member feedback's on their scoop having some flaws, milky edges and other issues. Well let me tell you, I think CarbonFiberOne has been listening to prior recipients cause this thing is SWEET Edges are clean, very well done, no milkyness and fits extremely well. I would give my scoop an A. The only reason I wouldn't give it an A+ is they still send it with different bolts than the factory one's we have, so the factory nuts don't fit. They do provide new nuts, but as WormGod mentioned in his post, you still need 2 different size washers to make it fit nice and tight. Since I already knew this, it wasn't really a surprise and it's easy to take care of. I can't post any photos yet, (Scott?) we still have a few bugs with our site, but no big deal. Once I can post photos in my gallery, I will. So, if CarbonFiberOne keeps this level of quality, I'd say GET ONE!

    Good.
    I hope my complaints got them to look before they ship.
    I have not heard a word from them. No, so sorry, no attempt to make it better, nothing. So, I may have it painted.

    Email the pics to rreed17@kc.rr.com and I will get them up for you. I am very interested in seeing the scoop... I'm planning on adding something myself after I get the motor swap done... can't go around looking all normal... ok, so the VX isn't exactly "normal" looking. Send the pics when you get a chance.

    TTYL!

    I received the same hood insert about a month ago. I was in the same boat as the other post on the hood. I wasnt real pleased with the quality of workmanship of the hood expecially the scoop and the outside edges of the insert were terrible. I ended up getting some small rubber seal to put around the edges of mine. I also ran a few strips of black tape on the hood under the insert where the scoop was. You could see the silver from the hood as you looked into the scoop (not a insert problem). I'd give mine a D+. I wouldnt purchase mine again. But I'm glad your happy with yours, maybe future VX'ers will be as happy.

    Looks great! I think I might have to pony up and by it soon... do you think it can be painted to match the stock insert color easily?
