So I'm looking for something thats gonna pull alot of air in and has a somewhat aggressive look to it.



What else is out there other than the Scoot hood?

i personally like the re amemiya ad 9, panspeed(the one amp has) and teh feed one.

I like the AD9 as well.

that looks like the scoot hood to me.



is it the ms one that is pretty simple and only has like 2 vents?

The MazdaSpeed is what the Vis Invader was based on. I think you might be thinking of the KightSport.



And the Scoot hoot's vents are more curved plus it has a Viper Coupe style forward facing scoop. I don't like it much. The AD9 is the olny hood I've ever wanted to put on my car.

Hmm, I really like that AD9 hood, i think my dilemma has been solved. Anyone have a pic of that PanSpeed hood?

shouldve just posted this to begin with.....

Thanks man.



Looks like I'm a gonna go with the Scoot hood after all....

the only scoot worth buying is the original one. i havent seen/heard of any replicas that actually use the scoop in the front to transfer cool air to the intake area or where ever it goes to.



heres amps panspeed...

Hmm, I'll have to check with the dude thats selling this Scoot hood. Not sure if its an original or not.

i think the feed hood is hot... but i don't know how well it is for airflow

mazdaspeed i like alot, it is quite bland, but still useful. i am just not a huge fan of vented hoods for fd's. now the hood on TII's just screams out

I think the AD9 looks better then the Scoot. I do like the Feed as well.

Scoot wasn't my first choice. But I dont hate it, and I'm getting a good deal. Plus there cant be much out there better for airflow.

AD9. Everybody's doing it.

LoL i figured I was a bandwagon jumper with the Scoot....

Get with the times homebrah. Forward facing scoops are soooo last year. Back facing only is the new pink.

i want an ad9, but im not going to pay 1200 bucks for fiberglass...

i think ill buy a cheapo replica of the scoot. test fit it and then fill the scoop.

When I was home on R&R, first time in civilization in 8 1/2 mnths, I saw this dude wearing a pink shirt with the collar turned up. I wondered how being a fag ws all of a sudden the cool thing to do.

So pay 1400 for carbon. The thing is so light it floats. I had to put some gold bullion in the frame to keep it on the car. THe gold was just sitting around anyway, at least it's getting used now.

the stock FD hood is like 15lbs. I make enough power to afford to loose the 4 lbs in fiberglass...

Are you sure you make enough power? ratio is like 1:1 right? lol



I like the Scoot and the Feed, but why aren't you guys painting these hoods?



Is the weight of paint really an issue, or is it because it looks cool unpainted?

i think carbon fiber hoods look like ****. is the stock fd hood aluminium?

I debated paiting this Scoot hood. But in all honesty, I kinda like the ricey look of CF on a red car. If I had a MBM, black, or white I'd paint it. All other colors I'd leave CF.

i hate the look for CF unless it's in the cockpit... speaking of which... i just ordered my rear hatch. Anyone know where to get the lexan for it?

The way I see it, I can leave it carbon for now and if I want to paint it later, I can. If I paint it now and want it carbon later, oops.....

I dont like CF on red cars.



I like CF on black cars.

I've got too much CF for my black car to paint...if we put it on and it looks good, it stays.

Just send it to London, ON and write Tyson on the outside, I'm sure I'll get it eventually.







I like the AD9 hood, but I would get the Scoot for my car because I can actually make use of that hood scoop......

isnt the fiberglass lighter than the cf? if you are going to paint it and you dont need the strength of the cf you should just save your money and go with the fiberglass?

Well, "we" refers to myself and my dad, if we both like how it all looks on the car as is, it'll stay unpainted, if we don't, paint that bitch.
