Re: hood scoop thread

^^^ 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?

Re: hood scoop thread

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

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.

Re: hood scoop thread

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