Poll: Carbon Fiber xA hood
are there any xA owners out there feelin left out for the after market parts?
if i can get a 10 hood order of a Scion xA hood, i wll make them in carbon fiber (in the same colors as my hoods and trunks for the xB)
*so if you xA guys are interested, now is the time to leave feedback ideas and requests, maybe my company MOTOR FX, can help you out with this particular part.*

Wait doesn't VIS make a CF hood? I had a VIS on my Civic and the quality is excellent. I would go with them if I got a hood on the xA but the stock hood weighs nearly nothing because it is so small so I almost don't see the point.

Anyone else think the paint chips real easy on these things?

the reverse scoop sounds sick. I have hail damage on my hood, but really, I would love to have a custom mod like that. One question: Will having a large opening in the hood have any negative effects on the engine when it rains...ie taking in water through an aftermarket intake :?:

plus just for the added safety you can always run an AEM airbypass valve, or better yet reinstall the OEM hood...
