what is the point of the scoop if it doesn't even direct air into the engine bay???

That by far is the worst cut and paste job I have ever seen?! :shock:

I can't believe that they would actually try and market something that GOD awful...

FYI - you might wanna go back to the drawing board on this one. Cause you'll get blow outta the water with whats already out there...not to mention whats to come from other reputable companies...

The scoop is not our company's product, sample image that was emailed in from Viniatit Customz. We have asked for pictures on a car painted however at current time one has not been submitted. We are showing what’s available through all manufactures for the Scion tC no matter what our personal tastes may be.

That hood doesn't look good at all.

I guess Duwayne is mad again as my post was deleted.

Pay back Chris yet!?!

the sad thing is items like this sell like crazy, just go driving around and see all the cars/trucks you see with two scoops on the hood, they are all just stick on fake scoops. i cant go a few minutes around here without seeing one, its terrible.

hey my post was deleted too.

What gives?

I think that hood sucks. My Opinion.

For a company to carry that hood... thing... is a quick way to lower it's rating!

you're entitled to opinions, but outright bashing and flaming is against the rules of the board... and I'm not even a mod, or seen any deleted posts, just don't hurt peoples' feelings directly and state an unbiased opinion and I'm sure it'll stay

back on track, unless you're supposed to cut out the area beneath that so it is an actual hood scoop and directs air into the engine, it is a pointless, obviously unatractive modification that only people who know it does nothing and don't care, and stand the ridicule will purchase it

I know I'm not one of them

while at a dodge dealership today i saw this, just to prove my point, atleast they only soak the customer 199$ for it. id ask for them to be removed if i ever bought it though.

i think the ones on that dodge are functional.

:? , I know some will like it and some wont. These shots are just prelim pictures of an unpainted one resting on the hood. Of course there is no cut out yet....That does not mean there will not be one. Obviously you are not looking at a final product here. But I'm glad we generated a response!!LOL

What is said about a mustang? (just defending scoops in general.) I know a lot of you like stock or replacement hoods, which is coo with me.

nope they are stuck on with tape or whatever. if they were functional it would form to the hood, you wouldnt see the lines at the bottom

But they said it's a "Bolt-on", so wouldn't mean that a cut out is unlikely.

not really, many Stang owners have cut their scoops and hood to allow for ram air to flow in, those too are just bolt-ons. It is just a matter of having your shop install it the way you want it. That's all.

You're right, the ram SRT10's hood scoop does feed the intake.

We will have painted pictures on our project car and pricing soon.

See similar products on eBay for 16.99, plus s&h. Hell, bolt on--why not just slap that on with double-sided tape? And to anyone who says it's 'non-functional,' I say take a hacksaw to the factory hood, cut a hole in the scoop with a mat knife, and you're in gear! As far as appearance, how well will house paint stick to the scoop? Can you brush it on?

Prices are not determined yet, and the scoop u see is not the finished product, functionality will be possible. no need for cutting the scoop. (reply to flame, bump once again lol) I think I will need some Guinness , just use my fingers and i'm in gear for this post. LOL
