The Hunters car with headlights!



Here's another hood scoop.

^^^ I remember that second one from Reading. What a horrid monstrosity that was. Didn't he have doubled up springs on the rear struts or something? Lifted the back end up a couple inches?

after actually seeing it with the lights in I'm not a fan of his foglights, too big for my taste rest of the styling isn't bad.

here is my scoop as it sits today it's getting a bit more body work because since the scoop itself was a duraflex when the body shop baked the primer it drooped so they need to reinforce it more.

I think a 2.5rs scoop would look great

I loved the paint on that car. I have a video, but no pictures of the paint.

A 2005+ Legacy (also used on the 2009+ Forester) hood scoop looks nice, and is gently integrated into the hood, rather than just sticking up like the pre-'08 Impreza, and older Legacy hood scoops do.

I'd have to agree. I do prefer the more subdued lines of the later Legacy GTs.

Looks like the used the front from a Chrysler Sebring or Dodge Avenger. Very Mitsubishi-esque rather than Subaru. Like the hard arched flares but not a fan of the front.

Rather than the center scoop that goes nowhere, why not just get some left/right heat vents from a GC8. At least they can have some functionality.

Doooh! That was an oversight on their part. Yeah it does seem to have some nasal congestion.

should be fixed they are going to trim back the lower section and reinforce it more should look really good when it's done.
