archemedes street rep is low. keep going
a bolt on scoop looks like a redneck made it, they have a gap that even when filled will crack and look like ***, not to mention why a carbon fibre hood? if you leave it cf your a ricer

well the point was that I wanted a carbon fiber scoop to go with the rest of the car's carbon fiber theme.

yeah I was hoping it would turn out better than that, though. If I bought a CF hood, I would paint everything except the scoop, so I figured just buying the scoop and bolting it on would be the more logical thing to do than to buy a 1,000 hood just to paint almost all of it when I can just buy the piece I want and bolt it on.

Yeah, rather than redoing the top of my car to make way for two carbon fiber scoops up there, I'm just gonna make two out of sheet metal and double-stick tape them up there on top of the glass...Seems like the more logical thing to do. I'm also thinking of cardboard ground effects because they are essentially the same thing and will tide me over until I stop being a tight wad.



Save up for the real thing bro, don't cut corners.

Please man, please, don't waste the time to put a rice scoop on your car that isn't functional, nor is i even apart of the hood, it's a waste of time, money, effort, and won't even look good, even if you were to mold it into the hood.
