I agree 100% Something like the M7 Extreme Scoop.....or a little bigger would be awesome...as long as the price wasn't $250 like the M7. If the price was down around $100.....I think they would sell as fast as you could make them.

Definitely! I tried it with the foam (that as you know it has poor contact due to the porosity) and it was really difficult to take off, once the tip is finished and clear coated, I'm pretty sure you'll have to (practically) break it to remove. I'll give you the specs on the tape later on but Il send in the package whatever you need to install.

heck, since your "in the mode" for making parts, how about some Canards! again, at a fraction of M7's price please!

sorry M7, neat stuff, but your price gouging! :(

Count me in on a wing tip and possibly a bigger scoop if that idea gets fleshed out.

[Watches with keen interest] A spoiler for 1st gen cabrio would be cool. There was one that was out there, but it was horrible.

A Palo Uber type scoop would be awesome! Something more aggressive than M7's for sure, not quite STI style but... that size opening is desired! It looks like others subscribe to that same wish list! I'd pay $150 for sure,

Once you have the part made out of foam, how do you go about making the hold off of the foam part? I'd like to try my hand at making some parts also.

ill see what i can do for research on dimensions, as well as trial/error for what i can find.

id be interested in a cowl scoop for just the drivers side, since that is where the intake is.

nice to see big *** hood scoop high on the list though! :D

Rake has to do with the angle of the spoiler. Why would we have to change to a stubby antenna?
