Those Leap ones are interesting. Never saw those before.
How about the MINI Challenge scoop ? Has vented top.

The notch style looks pretty good....and is cheap....also the jcw carbon fiber looks like an option. I was also look at the carbon fiber vortex 2 from m7....500 bucks though

Painted- Local auto supply is where I got the paint (Not national chain). 4oz of chili red cost me $14 and was more then enough. Had some left over to do all my rock chips myself. Painter supplied the clear. Painter was a friend of a friend and did it for $40. Stripes are vinyl. Scoop was like $90 with free shipping at the time.

Pretty good looking and unique for under $150.

Anybody know which of the clips/snaps on outmotoring is the replacement for the ones in the hood scoop? Looks to me like #46 on their photo menu, but i would like to be sure
