lmao ^


OP, I'm not sure I've seen any around here. Only one's I've ever seen are from like older JDM drift magazines where the SC's hardly look like SC's anymore.

I always wondered the same thing, then someone posted his SC with a scoop, and it looked terrible.
If you search you should find it.

Doesn't matter what brand it is. It is a horrible idea nine times out of ten.

at the end of the day its a matter of opinion... If a hood scoop is what you like, get one and see how it would look on the car. If it doesnt look good, dont install it.. very simple..
a hood scoop would definitely have your SC from looking different from more than 3/4 of the SC's on here...

besides, if you are running boost a hood scoop would benefit keeping engine temps down.. and if mounted towards the rear, would keep the rear cylinders cool.
