scoop on a rs - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

has anyone on here successfully lined up and installed a scoop on a bugeye style rs hood? Cant find anyone local that has a hood for me, and shipping is risky. Thinking about just cheating.

Khail did that on his '02 bugeye RS. Looked pretty good.

thats right. is he still on seccs? you guys have any pics? I wonder if he just bolted it on, or cut a hole for ventilation.

I think I saw someone selling a bugeye hood on craigslist.

PM'd you back Sean. It was one of the first things I did to the car, and it turned out pretty well. There were actual holes cut in my hood, it wasn't just sitting there. I must have been much braver 10 years ago, cause I don't think I'll be taking a Sawzall to any more of my cars!

The actual WRX hood has a depression the the scoop sits in, so you won't be able to make it as flush on an RS. I don't think it looked bad on my car, but it won't be quite as clean as getting a WRX hood.

He cut a hole IIRC. The only difference was that there wasn't a recess in the hood where the scoop attached, but it was really only noticeable if you were looking for it.

I don't have any close ups of the hood, but these might help you out.

thanks for the replys. That still looks awesome. I just ordered the jdm bugeyes sti scoop yesterday. That should give my car a little more aggressive look.

just checked. yeah. $150 but its blue, and a 10 hr drive. I wonder how much extra it'll cost to blast it and repaint it.

I see. I didn't notice your location.
