JCW CF Hood Scoop

Well, after a short stint with an M7 Scoop, and getting a few dazed looks from some STi drivers, i decided to trade off the M7 For a JCW CF Scoop.


Hows it look?

you could go with cf grill slats and paint the chrome white, or the other way around with cf grill suround and white slats.

I say buy a CF hood or forget the CF idea.....CF stickers make no sense, and will never look as cool as the real thing (because of depth and layers).

The stripe shape however is a great one.

yeah, you are correct, they are getting cheaper and cheaper. The problem is my car is HB and the C?F hood itself would not look good, i will have to paint the c/f and leave the mid section with a clear coat, too much money for nonsense. But on the other side, i am very big on c/f. Previously owned a Ducati 999 with C/F fairings and tail section and front, ohh not to mention the mirrors...

Thx for the comments guys.


I think now that CF goes with any color, unlike black. After putting the CF hoodscoop on a DS/W car, i might think about adding quite a few more CF bits, its a really nice accent.
