How long should this project take??!!

And to the OP, you haven't seen your car in a month? Are you sure it's your car anymore? I think a week without it would be a red flag... maybe he's keeping it hidden.

Honestly, i didnt take anyones opinion/trolling an insult except about 2 people that were just blatantly ignorant and disrespectful. I actually appreciate certain criticisms given to me in this topic. But then again in the end, the stick on scoop's purpose is 100% only for looks. And if you may think it's ugly then so be it. The main reason I got it is because it looks unique and it wasn't heavy on my wallet and it looks sexy IMO. Also I have the option to remove it if I ever feel that I don't want it anymore. I was only really calling "PapoZalsa" a hater because of his ignorant comment "+50 hp for a hood scoop" like he's funny and that hasn't been said a million times before. Lame typical troll. But regardless i'm sorry I took some posts offensive here. I realize you guys are very experienced and I come here to learn and take serious criticisms from pros since I am a noobie and just got my Z about 4 months ago. As far as exterior goes, there's really just no "serious critique" involved because it's all just the car owners taste really. Performance wise, i'm all open for criticism because i don't know much beyond an exhaust, cold air intake, and a sort of pipes/headers, and pulley, etc.

In all seriousness, a non-functional hood scoop and window vents will add drag without having any benefit on performance, so you're already in the negative before you've done any power mods.

I'm definitely aware of that and willing to take the miniscule negative impact on my car for the sake of how i want it to look.

I think it's safe to say that all of us think the hood scoop is ugly, since you mentioned it is 100% only for looks. Sometimes it's very important to accept criticism from experienced modders even if it goes against your opinion.

bluebird244

Okay that's fine if you think its ugly. I don't care about what other people think of my exterior because I personally love it and that's all that really matters. Pics will be up later today i'll post them up here then people can stop imagining things and look at my master piece that i've saved up and worked so hard for.

well...... this is an open-forum, so whatever you post, be prepare you will receive open-comments/criticism.

The other thing is, when you mention you are also into performance-mods, it confuses many people because meanwhile you are putting some negative-performance mods on your car...

It's a yin/yang build. I did the same. Supercharger and underdrive pulleys; 250lb anchor chained and dragging from the frame. Balance it out. Lol

Ok well i have one thing to say to that. Fk what you think. Okay? Flame me all you want. But my rear body scoops are actually vented and has air flow to the bottom of the car and brakes. You're gonna get at me about one lousy hood scoop? I got my car today and i love it but i wont be able to put pics up until tomorrow. Before you flame, atleast see it first..

dammm how did I miss this thread before??

SUBD!!

OP, I hope to see you posting your hood scoop mod in the following thread few years later from now. And compare to the thread you created here and have a good laugh of yourself.

Before you got into modding, what did you think made cars look good?

But no offense, as we all have this moment.. But we all grew up eventually. It's better to be laughed here than being called out on the street.

PapoZalsa

Like I said is a PUBLIC FORUM, I'm entitled to my opinion, if you don't like it

UH, those pics....My Eyes, My Eyes!!!!! You took a perfectly work of Art and Fvck it up.

Don't stop there, they have stick-on fender scoops and vents, side rear windows scoops, intercooler with fake blow-off valve & more....
