Makes me wanna puke just thinking about it. <p>What are people thinking putting these fake scoops and side vents on?! Not only does it look tacky but it also worsens the fuel economy by disturbing the airflow.... simply horrible

For the unbeatable price of just $340.00 you can appear to be having your Volvo Engine Force fed with air... <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/zeroforum_graphics/screwy.gif" BORDER="0"> <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/tongue.gif" BORDER="0"> Looks cheap and crappy if you ask me... I rather spend my money at Evolve than consider buying that...

Vents yes, scoop, no.<p>For the unbeatable price of free, you can remove the weather stipping on the back of the engine bay, and increase venting.

You'd really put something that looks like an ape's ass on your hood? It's not even functional!<p>"...designed to appear to be force feeding air into the engine bay..."<p>There's a very old thread on this topic actually. I could see a Legacy-type, functional hood scoop working on the R. It would have to be sculpted into the hood but it might not look bad....<p><IMG SRC="http://www.autobytel.com/images/carcom/2005/Subaru/05_Subaru_Legacy_GT/400/05_Sbru_Lgcy_GT_exfrdrvr34.jpg" BORDER="0"><p>But, that's a lot different than the detritus you linked to in your post.<p>Just my $.02,<p>-Eric

Re: Looking for a hood scoop...look no further than the c30? (juve021)
i would not do that to the R, but I don't mind it on the subarus'<p>i also don't mind the evolve hood vent (provide the color is a good fit for the car)<p>i like the clean lines of the R

Re: Looking for a hood scoop...look no further than the c30? (Sue Esponte)
Crap. I didn't know you guys felt this way. I should've read this before I ordered both of them. <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vortexmediagroup.com/images/banghead.gif" BORDER="0"> <p>Seriously, this isn't a Subaru with a top-mounted intercoller. It would feed cold air (if it was functional) directly over the OTE pipe and spark plug cover. The Evolve grill, which I also don't like, at least vents air over an open intake.<p>I just don't get this thing at all. It's not a muscle car. Hell, even when I had my F150, I avoided these things. Why would I glue something to my hood that would increase wind resistance?
