Random question with poll! YAY!

[Jeff]

I'm going to paint the minivan in the next few weeks. Should I keep the hoodscoop and top mount and make it look more OEM (molded in) or should I ditch in and spend a weekend fabbing up a a smallish front mount setup?

Scoop as it is now... well, it has hoodpins now as well




Stock hood with Chryco grill mod...




hehehe...nothing like this

i love NACA ducts

[Dave]

as much as I wanted to choose option 3, we all know that you're going to continue to dump $$ in it, so I say use a little bondo to blend it in and make it look good with some paint.

I'll bring the matches

Donate to the local ROTC, they need something for target practice.

[Evan]

hot. I love it.
my vote is front mount for more stealth

let me know if you want some help with the paint.

Unless you plan on upgrading your turbo, a FMIC isn't really going to benefit you much. It's going to probably just tack on a little more lag and MAYBE give you a little more top end. You've already spent the time making that scoop into the hood, see if you can use that WRX TMIC I gave you forever ago and rig something up to get cold air to it.

[ViPER1313]

He already did - the IC fits directly below that duct.

[WRXtranceformed]

What's wrong with that one then? That's a pretty decent intercooler, especially for your application. Those are usually good for a decent amount of power in teh werkses.

[Jeff]

Its not the WRX IC, its one from a Thunderbird...







It fit perfect, so I'm tempted to fix the scoop and leave it as it is. The only reason I am really painting it is winter. Once snow and salt gets to it as bad at it is now it will rust to nothing. Also, a little paint will make it look less like a hoopty.

[Jeff]

and by the fucking way, whoever added option three can go to hell. I'm trying to figure something out here...fo' real.

[HAULN-SS]

Painting it black?

[Jeff]

no, the OEM color with a touch more flake and slightly darker.

[HAULN-SS]

I heard something about people with flake in their paint....

[Jeff]

I heard something about people with small dicks... Is it true Deersty?

[JackoliciousLegs]

ouch....

[HAULN-SS]

I dunno..ask somebody's sister
