Here's the link:
http://www.abydos.com/supra/exterior...scoop_install/
It looks to be a $250 part. The design is clean and would probably look very good with the 4th gens round lines. I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Quoted from the bottom of the page....
This mod gave me approximately 350 extra hp to the wheels and I expect to run low 9s at 160 mph now.
This has to be a type-o. Perhaps the "0" at the end shouldn't be there?

The scoop is very subtle (very low) and looks to be just the right size for the Maxima. The rake of the Maxima hood looks very similiar to that of the Supra hood where the scoop mounts. The only problem I see is that this scoop won't be functional in terms of pushing air into the intake if you have the VI. The reason I say this is because the top of the VI's resonance chamber sits very close to the hood and right below where this scoop would open. It appears the scoop on the Supra isn't functional either. It looks to be more of a style enhancement and possibly a path at which to funnel more air around the engine to keep it cooler. I'm all for the that. I might get this scoop instead of getting the Cefiro chrome mirror covers.
