Why do you even have a hood? Take your hood off that will allow for more air, also get a snorkel for your car to gather as much cold air as possible....

DUDE... just stop... cancel your order... you are making a big mistake, we are not just bashing you for the fun of it... well no, we are, but that is because it is completely stupid what you are doing... why not just cut a hole in your hood... or like I said take it off... it is STUPID....

you are going to pay for that to be installed...

NO...

you are probably going to cut a hole in your hood with a hammer hitting oh so hard to just get a hole... then 2 side tape it on a dirty hood which in return, you are going to be "flying" down the highway, racing the Type-R civic... and your hood scope is going to fly off due to lack of contact with actual paint on the hood... and get stuck right in your view, and you are going to fly off a bridge...

true story...

ORRR>..

you are going to cut your "support beams" of the hood with your ghetto fab hammer job... and you get into an accident and you find your face stuck through the hole that once was your hood because you are stupid and destroyed the engineering of the car...

yay for stupid people...

Damn I'm sorry I didn't know I thought it looked cool and the fact that it adds 10 horse for so cheap it sounded like a good deal.

Hood scoops do have benefit to somethings... i.e top mount intercoolers... and don't get me wrong at one point I was going to put a hood scoop on my car for airflow to a top mount intercooler, but because of the fact it would not look too good we didn't do it... this is our mock up picture... which I didn't think looked to bad...

but you are just putting it on there to get more Air to your valve cover...

only difference is, we looked into where we could mount it with the "support beams" and in the end decided it was a bad idea, before we posted on the org, and asked OTHERS opinions, as it doesn't matter our opinions, it is up to you...

Yes, it does look cool.






On a Civic.







If you're blind.

It adds as much power as the electric supercharger.

Hmm... you should just donate that piece of plastic to a Honda Civic owner or a local Ricer because the hood scoop right there has no functionality like most of the members had said, its true that a functional hood scoop would give you power for example the Subaru STI. On the other hand if your not joking and literally mean what you say you should be slapped with that POS like Sooner mentioned.
