Tim240z Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 I asked John Washington about creating a 1 piece hood/hood scoop (like the post: That hood scoop that was on e-bay...). Here is his reply: It is possible to mold it into a one-piece hood. If I were to make a mold of such an item, however, it would involve the expense of prototype, plus the expense of the mold. Both would be much larger than just the scoop by itself. At a minimum I’d have to charge slightly more than the current price of the Subtle hood I offer which is similar. Its price is $300. I’d say it would be worthwhile to make such a part if I have at least five people interested. What do you think? Anyone interested in gettin a 'group buy' together?

fl327 Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 how much more clearance does it give???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spotfitz Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 A friend of mine has one of these rare scoops on his car. They bolt onto the hood, or atleast thats how he had to do it. I think it did work in much the same way the hood vents work. You screw into a threaded hole or onto a stud, but I believe his were worthless and he just drilled through it. I for one would much rather have the one piece. I think it would be easy to make it more stable and more functional at the same time. Looking in through the sides and seeing a miniram may not help the sleeper image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 no room in my budget for that dressy stuff it can be fashion, but it has to have purpose, or i cant speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 aargh! yet another thing my ZX can't buy into i really like the way that looks and would love to use it but i don't think a regular Z hood will swap with a ZX. man that kinda sucks. i would if i could... guess i'll just have to make my own.

jimzdat Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Keep an eye out on ebay--I got mine there a month or so ago. I'm going to be getting some pics of it pretty soon, so I can send them to John Washington--he is considering doing a mold if there is enough interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
