Where to buy this hood scoop?
Hey guys. I haven't posted in a while now but I figured I'd get back into fixing up my SVX instead of buying a truck or something.
I'm planning on getting a new suspension, radiator, hood and some other things but I'd like to get a fiberglass hood from class glass and I need to find the scoop I want to have glassed in. My old hood literally FLEW off of my car so I stomped it back into shape(mostly) and need a new one. Here's basically what I'm looking for: I want the scoop like this.. And I found this but don't know if it would produce the end result I'm after.. Finding a hood like that is easy if you go to Dayle's website but I want just the scoop.. Any help is appreciated as always..

Re: Where to buy this hood scoop?
the issue with those scoops are is that they are not metal and when both will get hot or cold they will expand and shrink at different temperatures so if you plan to graph it to the hood over time it will separate, ( my friend and i had a huge discussion on a FG cowl for his 87 monte) if you plan on getting that duraflex best go with a fg hood.

Re: Where to buy this hood scoop?
Yeah fg is the plan. I appreciate the advice cause I'd be mad as hell if my scoop just popped off one day.

Re: Where to buy this hood scoop?
A standard Legacy GT scoop should work for ya. I will see if I can locate one for you. You will have to cut into your hood to install it, but I have a write up for you. It will also help decrease under the hood temps.

You have no idea how much I'd appreciate it. The thing is though, I'm going to have a company called Class Glass just glass it in for me so I was looking for a fiberglass one. Would one straight off the hood of a 99' Legacy GT work if they are putting it in for me? Btw, its going on a fiberglass hood that I don't own and doesn't exist yet.

Re: Where to buy this hood scoop?
That would be good but I don't have a stock hood anymore.

Re: Where to buy this hood scoop?
Brett,
If you're going to Reading, I can bring a nice pearlie hood out for you, swap them and i'll drive back with the smashed one... I gotta make sure that hood is in the same shape as when I left it as it's out in a storage container at the shop... Unless you're set on getting the FG hood. I know OT has been asking about my hood for you for a very long time but I've been unable to bring it out there on my couple of trips... |

Re: Where to buy this hood scoop?
Not sure of the cut in process to a svx hood with a lgt scoop, but I will locate one just incase. Also a wrx scoop would look nice although I am not sure if you want that look.

Re: Where to buy this hood scoop?
I really like the subtlety of the lgt scoop but like the aggressiveness of the WRX scoop and I think I'm settled on the lgt one which is unfortunate because the WRX style ones are a dime a dozen and it seems like the lgt ones don't even exist. Id appreciate any help you could give.

Re: Where to buy this hood scoop?
Third post in a row.. Oh boy..
Well I found another scoop but it's made out of something called FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) Composite and I'm a little afraid it will sag or droop when heated which is the reason I'm trying to avoid the Duraflex scoop. I don't want my hood to end up like this: Duraflex scoop = sag in the heat: Here is the FRP Composite scoop: And here is a link to the scoop: http://www.yourhotcar.com/prod/AIT_R...SCOOP5/620390/ Anybody have some advice for me? Like what should I get here? Would the FRP one sag like the Duraflex in extreme heat?
