It's an oem scoop on a wrx.

Wren57 06-29-2003 11:13 PM

yeah thats what I thought, just wasnt sure and have never seen one close up... its dissapointing they didnt flush mount it into the hood...

pauls-si 06-29-2003 11:16 PM

Here's another angle........sorta reminds me of the sparrow in the grill of the Bentley in mischief 3000.

I think he meant more like the mustang's scoop. They have a little depression .. that sort of channels air to the "scoop" (although i think the mustang's scoop is non-functional.)

I believe he means the surrounding area of the hood scoop... l

It looks like it's just plopped on there... no filling etc.

Wren57 06-30-2003 08:11 AM

for the fourth time, I mean the space between the edge of the scoop and the hood itself... here I traced it in red for you...

scoop=plastic, hood=alumnium

and WHY would you want to build a hood for an STi and also for the WRX??

2 different sized scoops and FWIW that's my friends car.

Exactly what HondaTech627 is saying. The scoop is made to be easily interchangable (between WRX, STi, and aftermarket). If it were molded, you couldn't do that. I think it looks fine, unless you want to get into the nitty-gritty. Then again, if you want to comment on the looks of the WRX, I can think of alot of other things to bash on it (cough*bug-eyed headlights*cough).
