how long will it take you to save up for a mach setup, if its more then a few months get a hood scoop now and then the mach 1 later

Probably if I save for the mach one setup I will have to scrap any thoughts of charging, and i wouldnt have the money until about mid summer after i have been working for a little while, but thanks for the thought...makes sense

i would leave it how it is, or do a mach 1, or get a cowl....i wouldnt pay to switch to a stock hood that has a scoop, unless you find someone who wants to trade... just doesnt seem worth it to pay money to go from one stock hood to another....

I was just going to get the scoop itself, not switch hoods. And I'm not sure If I would like a cowl hood on my car. I like them but I think I'd rather have a black car like yours to make it work better for me.

Save it all for the S/C. Your car doesn't look bad the way it is so I wouldn't worry. If I had to do my car over again I would have done all the go faster parts then did the looks.

The hood scoop looks good and all but I HATE it when I'm detailing my car! The scoop is like a giant water collector! Whenever I wash and dry my car I just park it for the day because if I drive it water will just poor out of the scoop! Just like the rear bumpers on these cars, water somehow seems to pour out of the rear trunk area! lol

haha yeah I know what you guys mean about the water issue, but if you pop the trunk and dry the area around the trunk you can eliminate that problem, I also happen to have an air tool that I can just blow the water out of the mirrors. I never really thought about the scoop being a water collector too, makes sense though. Thanks for the input guys.
