Default MKIV Euro Hood Scoop?

Aight... is this an "***-captain sunday night my brain isn't in gear" thought, or am I on to something?

Question:
Can you install a euro hood scoop made for an MKIV supra on a SC3/4?

I'm posting some pics off of Andi B's website www.boostaholic.com

For those of you who know (I can't imagine anyone who doesn't!) Clint P. and Andi had a one lap extravaganza (a really cool read if you have the time) and since then Andi has sold his car (or so I read on Supra Forums).

Anyhow, I'm looking for something to spice up the hood -- it's a lot of rather boring real estate. I'd like something that's functional, and actually happens. I think non-fuctional hood scoops are almost as stupid as curb feelers.

In closing, would the contour of the hood make installing the Euro hood scoop impossible or rather hard on the SC, or is it do-able? There's a how-to floating around the web (saw it back in the day) on how to install this sucker on an MKIV -- it could be handy... if I could dig it up again.


[Edit: I wan't very clear]

I know MVP motorsports does -- they're $197. If it's supra, carson toyota sells it I'm sure.

Steve... you out there? (I didn't see it in his website -- www.l-tunedparts.com)

MVP Motorsports

Look down on the list here...

I'll try to dig up the how-to. I know a guy in my town who did some custom stuff to his IS300 hood, so maybe he'll be a good resource for this.

Looks good!! Anyone know just how "custom" it is to install this? Are we talking a small fee, or a big deal here? Just wondering .... I will probebly end up doing it either way.
