Considering New Hood
 

I need some opinions. I was just going to add a hood scoop to my existing hood, but i decided not to. I saw some others, and for some reason the scoop doesn't look the same when its added. It looks smaller, and just, different.

So i am considering getting a new hood all together, but i'm not sure what hood looks good with white. Money is somewhat of an issue, as i'm only 18. I have a full time job, that pays well but not sure if i wanna spend a whole lot.

I love the Shaker setup, but I'm not sure how the black hood applique looks with Chrome Wheels, so i'd get a Mach 1 hood, along with the shaker. (similar to what Jack is doing, minus the carbon fiber). But i'm not exactly sure if i want to spend a whole months salary on that whole set up.

Any other ideas for hoods that compliments the white? Or should i just get the damn scoop?

The only other hood I like besides the shaker is a cowl. Cobra r or a 2-3 inch cowl would be nice.

Personally I would just get the scoop and get some headers or gears or lowering kit. Something that would actually make a difference.

Eh i don't feel the need for headers. But i plan on lowering, gears.

if money is an issue and you want to do the shaker setup, the CDC would be the best to go. that can be had around 800. The karkraft kit i got was 700, and the hood was another 5 hundo. Carbon fiber saves on painting, but i figure buying an OEM Mach1 hood and painting it would be even more expencive.

you would save a lot of money if you just went with a Cobra R or Cobra hood or another aftermarket hood.

i would reccommend keeping an eye on craigslist and ebay...

Is the hood applique painted black? Or is it a plastic type deal?

Hard to beat the classic beauty of the Cobra R hood. Mine's a Steeda 3":worship2:

i believe it is plastic, same material as the chin spoiler. it can definatly be painted though, probably not for a whole lot either.

here is one painted....

Hm, yeah i don't really like the hood applique. I'd paint it if i got one.

Ya its plastic and is supposed to be painted...but I've seen where they were just left black

I felt the same way about the scoop as you did. If you take the time and have the right equipment, it doesn't look that bad. I added a billet grille to mine, because I didn't like the honeycomb that came with it. If you decide to go back to the scoop, PM me and I can send you some pics of the car after the install.
