New here ... and just got my wife an 07 MCSa in really good shape. Been reading up on common issues and found that the scoop gets hot enough to sag. Well, our car has a droopy scoop. Its not too bad but it really bugs me. So, looking to solve the problem with a couple of different things. I plan on picking up the M7 heat shielding that bolts over the factory turbo shielding. I am also looking into a "bonnet" blanket at least in the vicinity of the turbo. I have seen the JCW scoop and its nice but I'd like to have a CF scoop that is paintable... so that the majority is body color and perhaps scoop entrance area is clear coated CF. Being a previous member in the Corvette community there were aftermarket hood options for this type of concept. So, I know a paintable CF scoop is possible... just wondering if its been done.
Thanks,
Bill

(edit) just noticed in wrong section... sorry, please move to appropriate section. Thanks

 

Yes it is. You should be able to have any paint shop do it for you. A suggestion

1. Instead of going with the heatshield from M7, why not go with the AEM intake. Minimal blow off noise, but with the added benefit of additional horsepower (~14), torque (~11) as well as a heat shield that will reduce the temps on the hood by ~100 deg

I'm very happy with the setup. They are making some fixes to it and should be done within the next month. Anyways, just a thought.

 

AEM? Cool, I'll check it out!

 

BTW, nice color choice.

 

Thanks. BTW, my wife wants the factory black stripes put on the car... but then we have to take off the clear bra and somehow have it redone once the stripes are on. Not sure if I should paint the stripes on or go with vinyl... just worried about the Arizona summer sun destroying the vinyl after a short period of time.

I want to replace the wheels as well with the type below... which she is cool with

 

Nice. I have those. If fact, here are a couple of pics of my current setup.
