checking interest on carbon / black air scoop

I saw there was some interest in the air scoop so i got a friend to make one as shown in pictures below because the asian version for the right hand drive from thailand do not fit the usdm model, so i made this for left hand drive

can be done in real carbon fiber or matt black

can add me to msn messenger at chrisgoh20@hotmail.com because i am looking for a tester



for this part

[Zangoose GD3 Blue]

how much is it... ill give it a try 2

[JDMchris.com]

id be willing to test fit it for you.

[GSRswapandslow]

what's the point? does it serve a function? considering it's backwards to how the cowl panel will actually vent...i'm confused as to why you'd want it

[Chrisfjr83]

i would like to know what the purpose would be for something like this. i can not really see it serving a purpose like GSRswapandslow said above me

[JDMchris.com]

gets a little extra air into the engine bay, if only it were on the other side, it would hit my filter perfectly.

[GSRswapandslow]

how is it going to get air IN? it's facing the wrong way and it's FAR too close to the windshield to ever really get hit with any amount of air anyways. the air will hit the front end, go up the hood a small bit, and the go over the car...there's goign to be a low pressure zone where the scoop is, and will have air actually being pushed OUT of it from where the high pressure zone under the car is pushing air up and out.

i see no use for this, other than 100% rice

[TunaDaMan]

i can sorta understand what you guys are trying to say, but it's basically like the hood scoop on a subaru, do you guys think that is backwards too? the difference is, it is smaller and goes to the back of then engine bay, maybe it would help push outside air to the back of the engine bay cooling it, we won't know until someone actually test it

[sosoqtpinoy]

im willing to test one ...looks clean...

i think it might still pull air under the hood despite it not being a ram air scoop. there's been arguments about this kinda stuff like people putting spacers under their hoods to get more cool air. i think i remember reading that when you life the back end of the hood up, it actually pulls air down under the hood, instead of venting out the air, so maybe this works the same way. i really don't know though. someone should wind tunnel this or something haha. will it be useful though? i doubt it, but i could be wrong. looks cool? maybe..

[gotfitted]

Chris, you should cut a hole on your hood right over your filter and put this over it

[07fitsport]

any place a person can get a scoop llike this yet??

[smatts]

What do you guys mean it's facing the wrong way, clearly in the photo's the scoop is facing forward.

I was thinking about a scoop in that spot the other day actually, I'm interested in one in Carbon.

[Endless]

I'd be interested in one as well.

[YazzFlute]

So will I! A black one is probably cheaper, no?

[kelsodeez]

yea i want one too. but without that ugly red mesh.

[aliencowboy]

Interested also!

[wlfit]

I'm interested in one in Carbon (if it's real carbon that is.). Black mesh please!

[sdPANNfit]

I like it. Any why you can have the engine run cooler is GOOD for me.
Good Job Chris.
