Looks like it might be nice, but you're right - pics don't do it justice. Pull your beast out of the garage and wipe it down, then take some even light pics. Then we'll know better. I think I would open a hole in the hood and make it functional if I had it.

Goes good with the paint.

 

I love it, but can you please get me more pics once weather turns better?? I'm really looking for something like this. Wasn't the scoop a bit pricey though?? Thanks

 

I will definitely post more pics when the weather is nicer and I can pull her out of the garage. The scoop wasn't that bad in price for it being custom designed for our hood. I think around $200.

 

The scoop looks good. Did you cut a hole in your hood as well or is it just cosmetic? What's going on with your grilles? Looks like there's something in the works there too...

 

LOL no hole...I didn't want to cut into the hood or else the whole thing would have had to be repainted again...too costly. The grills are getting painted black and the fogs are getting re-tinted and covered with clear protective film.

 

Looks great!!

 

Wow that looks great. Is this something he is going to be offering for sale to the mainstream?

 

He does, just goto his website.

 

I'm all over it. Though I don't understand why the whole hood would have to be repainted to make it functional. I'm really clueless on bodywork.

 

How much horsepower did it add?? Looks like at least 30....




























:rofl:

 

More like 30.6732 whp.:lol:

It looks hawt. I'm going to get one slapped on my hood. Add the vented fenders, and you've got a really cool engine.

 

That looks really nice got me thinking about how to do a cowl induction hood, I think it would not work very well if you cut the hood, you did the right thing. On our cars you want to let air OUT toward the back of the hood not in. I wonder if he could do one that faced the other way, then it could be functional.

 

Just some larger louvers would get the job done. Something similar to what Gizmo has, but much larger.

 

JC Whitney is alive & well.

 

Those Danny Whitfield Solstice designs are very cool. I think you have to be careful not to go too far though or you're just making a Cobra copy. I like the side pipes, the fender flares and the hood scoop but I think you have to keep the Solstice grill and front end look to keep it unique.

Love what you have going Spiky. Paint looks great with the stripes going through the scoop. Your stripes look like they are definitely paint not vinyl -- correct?

 

Yes they are paint...the scoop is riveted on...When I get my grills back I will post more pictures. I am keeping the stock front end.

 

"Spiky is at it again." Your one crazy guy when it comes to mods on your car! I think the scoop looks great and that your car will be a work of art when it all comes together. Nice job!

 

I think it could look a bit better if you did spend that little bit of cash to mold it into the hood. It looks good where it is. I know I might get flamed on this comment. But if it is just a stick on mod isn't that "rice" ? I have "rice" on my car too. So we are all family:grouphug:

 

I think it could look a bit better if you did spend that little bit of cash to mold it into the hood.

I think it would look 100% better molded.

 

What do you guys think this hole is?? Jeez newbs!!

 

Thanks Scuba...I try to think of all these things before I have anything done. I think I covered all of the bases on this one.

 

Spiky, for a grand you could have waited for a similar aftermarket hood. I completely agree!! For $200 it looks great.

 

I would actually be doing this mod right now, but I'm going to wait for a hood.

I absolutely, positively, want a hood like this.

 

Funny that you put that picture in, because that's the first picture I saw that made me want to design my Solstice after it. When mine is done, it will be very similar to this one.

 

:agree: :agree:

It's a photoshop, but probably my favorite looking solstice of any.

I love the clean look. It still looks like it could come from the factory that way.

I like the way you and I are both working towards something that still looks clean :cheers:

 

There are a few sayings.

Speed cost money, how fast can you afford?

You get what you pay for.

You gotta pay if you wanna play.

 

If anyone ever makes a hood like that you guys have to let me know

 

I think it looks really hot, very nice!

 

Hey Spiky. I don't mean to be a pain in the ass but do you happen to know the measurements of the scoop? if not, if you can measure it for me i would greatly appreciate it. I checked the danny whitfield website but theres no info on there. Thank you!!

 

Sure...I even went out in the rain to measure it for you. The dimensions are 23.5" top to bottom and 17" wide.

 

Spikey, the scoop looks awesome. I'm really interested in the side vents but on the website it says "coming, March 2008" and no pricing information is available. Does anyone know if these are available yet? Maybe I'll email them to find out. Anyway, great addition to your kappa.
