Does anyone know how many hoods with scoops their are for the xB?

I've seen a couple in the past....to long ago to remeber what they are.

If anyone knows what's out there, please inform me.

And yes.....I tried a search.......maybe I suck at it.......but my personal opinion is that the search sucks.

there is a carbon fiber one on ebay all the time...i dont know how good it is but it looks nice...i saw that one above on ebay im pretty sure that its fiberglass...i really like how that one looks in the post above

The Audioforms piece is extra sweet. You need to see that one in person. Quality is top notch!

Someone here made a really sweet one himself from a Celica scoop. I suspect a nice one could be done with a 4Runner scoop, too.

But that doesn't solve the problem, KingLou, if you're looking to buy something off the shelf.

Don't do it!

Don't do it!Just curious, but why not? Not that I would do it, but why not do it if you want to?

I am not sure what the point of doing it would be. Would it help the engine? :?:

In the case of this car it would only be for looks even if it was made to be "functional". The purpose of a scoop is to creat a ram air affect. A properly designed scoop could get you ~1psi of boost at speed. When I say at speed I mean >80mph. Even then on this engine that would equate to 1 maybe 2 hp in all reality. I never cared for fake scoops. It makes the car look tacky. Even worse are the cars that don't need them at all.

I just think they look silly on this car.

YEP! :lol:

Nah.......I like em. I think they look cool. Probably won't get one any time soon though cause I got no money.

Yeah, I know the feeling!! :D

Not everything you get on your car has to be functional. Most mods people do are cosmetic. What about the most common mod, rims? Most people get large diameter/heavy rims that don't do squat to 'help' the car. I'm all for the scoop. I think it looks nice as long as its small/tastefully petite. No STi scoops please :lol: Go for it! I want one that's about 6"x1.5" or so and offset to the pasenger side.

...Maybe someone should do a 'shaker' style hood. :lol:

shaker would look cool

Yea I been wanting one. I think it would look bad ___.

At least offset it to the driver's side so it would be near the airbox...

I didn't mean to start a flame war or anything. I don't really care what other people do/think with regard to cars anyway.

Kil, you crazy guy!! Where the hell you been? :twisted: Haven't seen a post from you in ages, I thought you were taken by aliens. :lol: Why don't you make your own hoodscoop , like you did that flaming mini bike thing.

Just cause I can set ____ on fire doesn't mean I can make a hood scoop. :lol: I spose I could try setting my hood on fire and see what happens. :shock:

And as far as the issue of my sparse presence as of late..........apparently dental school is time consuming. Who would have known? :oops:

But....burying my head in the books is suffocating me.........so I'm trying to find a balance. We'll see how it works out.

I've also been trying to re-devote some of my time to getting my damn Scin Scity Scions (huh...what's that?) web-page up and running. I've got a functional forum going.......but I don't want to "release" it so to speak until I really think it's ready.

I wouldn't think anyone took it that way, just debating the issue. :wink:
