Thread: hood question

just wondering where is a good place to get a ram air hood, or any good hood for that matter, for my 97 gp. gonna be a while for me to get it, but i was wonderin where it would be cheaper to get one from.

i got mine direct from ascd they have different styles, and they all cost like $700. i dont know about others but my hood had dips and everything else in it that i had to fix before paint, which is normal for fiberglass but for what i paid i expected better, and the loop for my hoodlatch was to short and i had to make a new one for it to work

well thats kinda disappointing lol. im thinkin i might just make my own. thats too much money for me.

i found out i carry the eclipse hood scoops at my work. so im gonna get those, and put em on. EXCEPT, im not gonna be stupid like normal ppl. im gonna cut out holes in the hood and make them real. so ill cut out the front of the scoops, and bolt them down, not 2 sided tape em. itll be something like this.



so wutcha think about that?

Then you got to mold them into the hood so they dont look fake.

Yeah, mesh them in so there is no lines.

oh i plan on it guys. at first i think im just gonna bolt it. when i am ready to paint it i will make it one piece.

Also, try and get them placed perfectly. The above picture, they should be a bit closer to the front, and maybe a bit further apart from each other.

oh my god dont do that. those hood scoops are so ugly.

If they were low enough it'd look like the F1 hood. >_>

well i am not placing them like that. i would do it the way that its not fake lol. and bio, they wouldnt be so bad if they were molded into the hood, and looked real

...good luck with that...they're still gonna be plastic...
