Lx, you sir are the bling king.

Blarsen, That looks kickass nice. Could you post a few pics of the under side of your hood? I would like to see how much of the support structures you had to cut into.

I removed NONE of the supports. I worked with the structure in place and ducted it to the intercooler.. sorry no pictures of the underside of the hood.. if you do a search for blarsen and look the intercooler post you can read all about it..

I think thats the same one I am looking at. So you didn't do any welding and just took a sawzill to your hood?
 
I used a roto-zip with a fiber blade to cut it from the top. i taped off the hood and covered the engine so none of the metal would get inside. after I cut the hole I put primer and paint on the bare metal.
it took some time, the hood is made of heavy steel (for a hood).. I have no hood flex or shake... good luck..

Did you have the hood shake before you put it on? Cause I have it and it annoys the living hell out of me.

I thought for sure it would look stupid but it looks fine! maybe it would stick out more on a light colored truck but nice work :beer:
 
The funny thing is that it looks better on an 80 than the Subaru it came of of.. he he
As for hood shake, I had none and still have none..
thanks

Could try to source a scoop from an Australian Toyota HiLux. Nissan Patrols also have a similar scoop.

I like that lots!!! Does it have an actual baffle inside with drain tube for rain or snow weather? Part Number? :cheers:
 
This thread got me partially moving and blarsen is using the same scoop I had planned on, wandered over to ebay and found one for sale for $20.

Now to see how long it sits on my shelf before I take it to the next level.

Hmm, I'll have to add it to the project list.

Being that I prefer ridiculous mods instead of mild ones...I'll go for the 04-05 STi scoop instead of the posted WRX one..its bigger.

Go big or go home.

Now if I can just convince my wife to let me get the 6" Slee lift.:doh:
 
Romer, tell us about that fancy thing in the background with the huge intercooler up front.

I have no idea. I sourced the picture from an Australian magazine.
 
Got my $20 hood scoop from ebay. Was thinking of painting it, but I think I like it the way it is. Goes with the snorkel. Now all I have to do is either get the courage to cut the hood or hopefully find someone with more skills in this area to either hire or help :D
