Guys with fmics, its obviously better to get rid of the subaru bonnet and have a cusco one (like POCs old one) or have some sort of bonnet similiar to evo's correct?

Apparently the scoop is rubbish for people with fmics and some people blank it off, or they look at a sport bonnet.

Anyway, the point im getting it is i have just seen a different design by Do-luck. What they did was just turn the scoop around. What do you think?

Scoop backwards

(at the bottom of the page)

 

The scoop does, actually, still have a useful cooling effect with it pointing forwards as standard
Blanking it off raises temps (well, it does on mine )
I haven't tried turning it backwards as it looks very silly but from what I've heard, it doesn't work particularly well, unless you like gunk on the windscreen - basically, there's very little air movement (suction, in this case, would be handy) at the point at which you'd want it, ie high speed; exactly the same problem as with a TMIC at high speed.

 

Yeah its been done to death this one I think theres loads of threads about it....the outcome was basically not worth the hassle. Especially if you get an oil cooler....
