Well, I guess I stand corrected. I was of the belief that hood scoops only belonged on muscle cars. Some of these pics really don't look that bad. I'd never do it, but some of the scoops look better than many of the body kits I've seen.

Scott that looks damned nice. But then your car and anything you do on it is always badasz.

Default SC400 Hoodscoop

ok, I posted another picture in the Garage. You can see the hoodscoop better. It has a passage down through the hood to the engine for cooling and because the hoodscoop is so long and narrows it actually adds some pressure to the air. I bought it with the scoop. I would not have added it, if it didn't have a hole in the hood I would remove it.... after all.... it's not a mustang

Hood scoops just don't look right on SC.

The air intake on the SC relies on air coming in from behind the right headlight. A scoop above the air filter and directing air into the area would be beneficial, right?
