I have an 00 V6 and I just bought a used scoop from an 01-04 and drilled the holes myself... it was easy and only $60 total.

CDC shaker and cutting your hood to put in a scoop that looks out of place FTL

an ACTUAL mach 1 shaker hood conversion FTW. it cost me about $1,200 to do it, but it was well worth it in my opinion. if you're interested, let me know and i'll walk you through it, because the mach 1 shaker is NOT supposed to bolt up to the 2V

I will never understand the people that pay over $1000 for an appearance mod.

especially a shaker


OP, if you get a hood scoop then make sure its bolted down very well....my buddy had an 01 gt and his scoop broke off at 150mph and it tore his car up

you don't really have to understand it. something about my car made me unhappy, so i decided to do something about it, and do it the right way only one time, and to me, the cost was justified. i didn't like how the hood scoop on my car was not functional, so i decided to make it functional. i bought a used mach 1 hood, and a new shaker system, and had the hood painted to match and the fenders blended. total cost was around $1,200 before i sold things like my stock hood that i no longer needed, and the cold air intake that was on the car that i had to remove. cost after selling those parts was around $800.

I have been thinking long and hard about hood scoops myself. I am thinking I might leave appearance alone (once my car gets out of the shop for air conditioning) and stick with performance mods, I do like the scoop though, it is real nice. Oh, I have a 2000 gt

How much do hoods cost with paint? How much do people pay for wheels with ****ty sumitomos? You can't say they are a performance mod.

my hood was $300, and costed me $250 to paint it and have the fenders blended. and easy there, my 10.5 deep dish bullitts have 315/35/ZR17 sumitomo HTR-Z tires on them for a year and a half now and they look brand new. nothing wrong with them IMO.

that's not the point he was trying to make,,

someone earlier *maybe bramas* couldnt understand a grand on visual mods..


but, tires and hoods together can cost WELL over 1000 dollars, and nobody bitches about them

I'd like a different hood or a good looking scoop, but at the same time, I also like people thinking my car is a v6 from the front and sides *sides before I got my new wheels anyways*
