It might be cool to see what it would look like with your body kit. We could photoshop some wheels on there.

100_Percent_Juice · 2007-03-05, 11:26 AM

yeah thanks buddy, my friend is gonna let me borrow his wheels for the photoshoot I have to do for kaminari so maybe if its around the same time we can do it all on one day.

Let me know when. Did Kaminari paint that hood to match your car too?

100_Percent_Juice · 2007-03-05, 11:32 AM

Yes they painted the hood and front bumper.

I need a trunk and spoiler (that I already have) to be painted PSM. I wonder if they would hook me up with a deal, do you have contact info for them?

My post was very unclear. I meant that new custom vented hood of theirs. Did they match it to your paint for your car on the photoshoot?

100_Percent_Juice · 2007-03-05, 04:12 PM

Ohhh, Yeah the reverse hood I believe is getting painted to match my car, and then they made a carbon fiber one I believe. Why? Would you be interested in that hood?

knucklesplitter · 2007-03-11, 08:01 PM

The final version is painted and on my car. I am very happy with the fit and flushness now that I added extra pull-down studs to the front corners. The paint didn't match perfectly using just the color code, but it is close enough for this one. Mesh and a few frames are at the powder coater.

sperry · 2007-03-11, 08:22 PM

Damn man... that's one quality looking part!

JonnydaJibba · 2007-03-12, 08:36 AM

Looks great.

Kevin M · 2007-03-12, 09:06 AM

That's one of the best home-brew mods I've ever seen man. good job.

Have you thought about trying to tweak it to make a slight extractor out of it?

MPREZIV · 2007-03-12, 11:31 AM

Man that looks nice! I need a turbo, and then a FMIC, and then one of them bad boys!

That would be futile considering the high-pressure area that the scoop hole is located at. I also prefer the flush look to the reverse scoops that are out there that don't extract either (I assume). I do want to fool around with some sheetmetal ducting underneath the mesh to maybe get some bernoulli effect going on.

Kevin M · 2007-03-12, 03:31 PM

I meant more by dipping the front of the mesh beneath the hood (or sheeting beneath it) but it all comes to the same since there is that high pressure zone there anyway.

Yeah, that's what I want to try, but with sheetmetal underneath the mesh to maintain the flush look. I even though about extending the duct forward under the hood to try and find the airflow coming through the radiator. I've been meaning to duct tape up some cardboard to just see if any of it works. I use the hi-tech yarn test to see which way the air flows - tie some short pieces of yarn to the mesh and watch where it gets blown.

kidatari · 2007-03-12, 03:57 PM

Looks awesome, great work

knucklesplitter · 2007-03-12, 07:17 PM

I need a white and a black 04/05 WRX/STI to model one of these Hood Vents in powder-coated black for photos. FMIC is not needed, since it's just for pics. It takes 15-20 minutes to change a scoop out to one of these. Anybody interested or know anyone?

knucklesplitter · 2007-04-04, 04:10 PM

Teh pretty...

Na'im Bey's car down in Bay area. Maybe he could change that "G" to a "K".

JonnydaJibba · 2007-04-04, 04:17 PM

That looks sweet.

I processed your Nevada Business Reg. by the way... thought that was "neat."

cody · 2007-04-04, 04:18 PM

Nice color on those letters.

Get the hell out! That *is* "neat", "peachy keen", and/or "boss". You work there? Bet all that spell checking comes in handy.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-04-04, 04:43 PM

No actually not, really. I "key what I see." So if you fuck up, I type it in just like you wrote it.

Libila · 2007-04-05, 07:49 AM

I know I already said it but I think it turned out great! If I ever get a FMIC I'll be in contact with you

Thanks.

Should have some black pics soon. Another guy is painting both his frame and mesh WRB.
