yeah thats what im talkin about i wouldnt want to put it on a regular tC, but one that has like a wide body kit. an aggressive kit needs an aggressive hood, but it might be too much risk for many to put something that aggressive on their car. as for me ill do it becuase i can see it in my mind and i know it looks good, just wait till u c a tC in an auto show with one and u will realize how right i was the whole time

That might just work alright with the FiveAxis widebody that never came out for purchase. But whatever it is, it'd need to look that crazy first for this hood to work.

I think that with those kits you'd also need a new paint job to complement the new lines.

I personally don't like those kits but I would see they would work out pretty well with such an aggressively vented hood.

I think maybe a photochop is in order to find out?

so do i, i like their new kit better but the one thing that kills the whole kit and any reason of me buying it is how a column comes down in the middle of the upper grill, ugh. my paint job would be all yellow with the edges of the cf also painted and the windows tinted black with a CF hatch and CF lip spoiler. that is my ideal

But it'd have to be a real scoop. One attached to a ram intake, or at least one you could 'safely' attach to something like the weapon-ram ram scoop.

Safely as in won't fill with water when it rains.

On topic. There are reverse scoop cf hood for the tc already. Just not ones that look like something on a 1982 Muscle car belonging to some guy from staten island called Joey.

for example.

Not that I like this style either, but if I had to get one this would be high on the list.

I wonder if it fills with rain and snow, or leaves in the fall.

If you want that hood so bad, why don't you just make one yourself, or have friend with the skill, or a body shop make you one? remember the underlayment of a CF hood is fiberglass, get a fiberglass hood, attach the bumps, then CF cloth and seal it.

your car, you do what you wish but dont expect everyone to like it. as you can see we are just a small percent of the car world and if we dont like it, im pretty sure no one else will either.

u guys dont understand, i dont want a Copy of that first hood, but instead a hood with the similar concept of reverse vents. honestly this can easily and tastefuly be pulled of if the curves and lines are dont the right way. and the right way would be that they flow and match the lines of the tC, but we will never know unless someone actually puts the effort foward to do this
