Alittle wet, washed it off a little. I painted my OEM wheels because I don't have the funds to buy another set of wheels. :rolleyes:

i see it around every now and again, i actually like it, could use a set of wheels, however at lease you say "i cant afford them right now" instead of making up some bull, but i like the scoops and lip/towhook, its pretty nifty.

oh, and a tip, i think the front end would look aggressive as hell, if you painted the grill and headlight trim satin black

the scoops are very low key, didnt notice them at first.
dwight schrute* Question: Do those scoops actually serve for a purpose or do they go to the a/c?

Yes actually, looking from the front, the left one goes to fuel lines, and the right one goes to the braking components. :goodjob:



"those wheels need to be about 2''"

They are OEM so...they are 15" haha :rolleyes:

lmao @ the poseur "S" hood :lmao:


The scoops actually don't catch any air in that location, the air that gets deflected off the upper edge of the hood and hits the middle of the windshield effectively making that area a "dead zone" for airflow. :ninja:

Whatever floats your raft......

Indeed the S hood is worthless right now. I hit a deer so I go the S hood for more room and an intercooler for future projects. :tongue1:

Either way, all my scoops look good :yes:

MINI
02-22-2009, 01:33 PM
Well i dont know if they are complete dead zones. If you look at the first picture, they are placed in "valleys" in my hood. There is a hump from the headlights, then a flat spot, then a raised part in the middle, then another flat part, then to the other headlight hump.

It seems like these places on the hood would actually direct the air flow towards the scoops...hmm..
