Looks superb mate - is that a Seibon scoop on there ? Looks like the same as my chargespeed one..

Do you think it will be ok without bonnet pins,any movement at higher speeds ??

Hi Pete, yes mate it's the seibon scoop, i was'nt sure about the mesh to begin with but it's grown on me big time so I think it will stay.

As for the bonnet pins I don't think I am going to have to bother as there is hardly any movement at speed, the bonnet lined up 1st time so I suppose thats what you are paying for with Seibon.

Your car's looking damn nice these days too.

Jim

Yes mate it's the Greddy splitter, I'm really pleased with the bonnet and you've rumbled me on the window sticker.

NASIOC, I live on there

Glad you like it.

Jim I can see where your getting your influence from and I like it

The only thing I will say is I'm not sure on is the mesh in the scoop... I feel that it detracts from the rest of the quality finish on the car that you have achieved so far. If it's to stop anything damaging the Top Mount I would maybe look at fitting a black or silver coloured mesh flush on top of the Top Mount, that way you will still get the aggressive look to the front of the car with that large Scoop and also protect the intercooler as well.
I like to see the Red STI logo showing through from the engine bay if you had a flush mesh fitted over the top of the Top Mount you could have the STI echoed on that... this would retain the look as well as being protective ?
What I have also noticed with many people fitting heavy mesh is there is always questions raised about reduced air flow into the Top Mount ?

What do you think Jim ?

Lets have a close up on that window sticker then Matey
You will be having ESC all down your screens next

I like it a lot mate

BUT from looking at the pics and not in person I have to agree with the majority, that mesh isn't for me, but as you like it best keep it in until you get bored of it

I would have to say that I like it

I'd prefer a Scott Lowe carbon splitter to compliment it tho

I'd loose the silver bonnet scoop mesh and perhaps a few of the graphics but other than that it looks awsome. Carbon fibre bonnets do look good on cars that can pull them off - and the Scoob is one of those cars. Nice one.
